Paikin's Song

Well I Must Say

Well I must say
What an odd turn of day
For I had no thought
That Alex I'd see
But send send him in
And hold all my calls

He'll see you now Alex sir
So go you in
And by the by
May you find
Whatever it is
You're searching for

Many thanks for that
For success in this grave task
Is of much import

And he fixed her with a smile
Realizing quite too late
That she already had
Returned to working
Which was just as well
As it was almost time
To hurry hurry hard

So Alex I must ask
What brings you here
To speak to me
When I can see no reason
That would cause you so to come

Thou doth protest too much
You've come to seek too close
To Lisa my lady
That I was bound to come along
Or was before
I came to leave away

Oh what and what
I've come to close to her
And you leave away you do
I'm sorry but I'm lost
And would like enough
A proper explaining
Of what you mean to say
