Lyrics

All I want is a room some where, Far a way from the cold night air,

with one e nor mous chair; oh, would

n’t it be lov er ly?

Lots of choc’ late for me to eat; lots of coal mak in’ lots of heat;

warm face, warm hands, warm feet, oh, would

n’t it be lov er ly?

Oh, so lov er ly sit tin’ ab so bloom in’ lute ly still!

I would nev er budge ’til spring

crept o ver the win dow sill.

Some one’s head rest in’ on my knee; warm and ten der as he can be;

who takes good care of me.

Oh, would n’t it

be lov er ly?

Lov er ly!

Lov er ly!

Lov er ly!

Lov er ly!
