Classic Poem

VERSE

Lady, last Saturday,
Or was it yesterday?
I was rehearsing a speech,
Really, I think it's a peach,
Hope you don't think it a breach
Of recognized etiquette.
I'm from Connecticut.
You see the state that I'm in,
I mean I'm in a mess,
What was that speech
Oh yes . . . yes . . .

REFRAIN

I like the likes of you,
I like the things you do,
I mean, I like the likes of you.
I like your eyes of blue,
I think they're blue, don't you?
I mean, I like your eyes of blue.
Oh dear, if I could only say what I mean,
I mean, if I could mean what I say,
That is, I mean to say
That I mean to say that
I like the likes of you,
Your looks are pure deluxe,
Looks like I like the likes of you.
