Lyrics: Last night I had a romance with a tongue tie lady Who confess that she so love me Last night I had a romance with a tongue tie lady Who then confess that she so love me She said: Dear Im all alone at home tonight You can visit while me grandmother gone out of sight But later on when I want to hug and kiss With the tie tongue language she saying this It's twenty-five to twelve get up Me grandmother coming 12 o clock It's twenty-five to twelve get up Me grandmother coming 12 o clock Well friends now let me tell you Im a man of passion When a pagan beauty catch me eye This lovely flower bud she set me teeth a nascent When I see her Lord Im warm inside But on the sofa I decide to sneak a small caress Later on maybe try a little stupidness She push me back, she start to break away In the same tie tongue language again she say It's 20 to twelve please get up Me grandmother coming 12 o clock 25 to, no 20, 20 to twelve get up Harry Well by this time I really was exasperated What a manner of rejecting me I tell you out of all the things the Lord created De woman make the worse calamity On the sofa again I tried to sneak a kiss Later on to convince her of some greater bliss Right away but in a voice not quite so strong She start to sing she tie tongue song A quarter to 12 Harry get up Harry Me grandmother coming I tell you honey A quarter to 12 Harry get up Me grandmother coming 12 o clock Now friends you know a man he should not be frustrated When chasing some dilatability But I know this problem never will be eliminated Until Im reaching my senility By this time I can see that she is getting weak Me blood pressure rising to the danger peak When I feel the romance coming soon Right away she crooning the tongue tie tune 10 to 12 Harry get up me Grandmother darlin she coming 12 o clock Harry its 10 to 12 now come on get up Harry Well right away me brain we see the revelation How to make the fruit fall off the tree If I want a chance to integrate me situation I got to talk some other talk for she Right away marriage talk was coming out me mouth She smiled the conquest is no long in doubt But before she reach insanity, With the last chance whisper she telling me Its 12 o clock Harry, Harry, Harry its 12 o clock, Harry its 12 o clock and me grandmother coming Ha, Ha, Ha Hallo granny I want you to met me friend Harry |
