The Blue Room

From all visitors and inquisitors

we'll keep our apartment.

I won't change your plans,

you arrange your plans

just the way your heart meant.

Here, we'll be ourselves

and we'll see ourselves

doing all the things we're scheming.

Here, I plan for us something grand for us

where no one can see us dreaming.

We'll have a blue room,

a new room for two, room

where every day's a holiday

because you're married to me.

Not like a ballroom,

a small room, a hall room

where I can smoke my pipe away

with your wee head upon my knee.

We will thrive on, keep alive on

just nothing but kisses,

with mister and missus

on little blue chairs.

You sew your trousseau

and Robinson Crusoe

is not so far from worldly cares

as our blue room far away upstairs.

They will thrive on, keep alive on

just nothing but kisses

with mister and missus

on little blue chair.

She'll wear her trousseau

and Robinson Crusoe

is not so far from worldly cares

as our blue room far away upstairs.
