Classic Poem

VERSE 1

I have an ear for music,
And I have an eye for a maid.
I link a pretty girlie
With each pretty tune that's played.
They go together, like sunny weather
Goes with the month of May.
I've studied girls and music,
So I'm qualified to say:

REFRAIN

" A pretty girl is like a melody
That haunts you night and day.
Just like the strain of a haunting refrain,
She'll start upon a marathon
And run around your brain.
You can't escape, she's in your memory.
By morning, night, and noon
She will leave you and then
Come back again.
A pretty girl is just like a pretty tune. "

VERSE 2

Most every year we're haunted
By some little popular tune,
Then someone writes another,
The old one's forgotten soon.
A pretty maiden with beauty laden
Is like that kind of song:
Just when you think you love her,
Another one comes along.
