Take Her In Your Arms 
(A.M. Stewart/Strathmore Music)
Chorus:
Take her in your arms and tell her that you love her,
Take her in your arms, hold that woman tight,
Why don't you take her in your arms
And tell her that you love her,
If you're going to love a woman, be sure to do it right.
You can see him at the corner,
Sure his lip could reach the pavement,
He's been hiding from his razor, is he not an awful sight?
In love he was the purest, now he's frightening all our tourists,
If he'd go and ask his father, I'm sure he'd set him right.
Chorus:
Well, he met her at the disco in a dive in San Francisco,
And it might have all been different
If he'd seen her in daylight,
She was painted, she was scented,
but she drove the man demented;
If he'd go and ask his father, I'm sure he'd set him right.
Chorus:
There's a pub that's filled with laughter,
And the landlord* buying bevvies,*
There's a session* in the corner, and we're having fun tonight,
But your man who's lost his woman is sitting home lamenting,
If he'd only ask his father, I'm sure he'd set him right.
Chorus:
Now depression's not a million laughs
And suicide's too dangerous,
Don't go lepping* out of buildings in the middle of the night.
It's not the falling but the landing that can alter social standing,
So go first and ask your father, he'll be sure to set you right.
Chorus:
Here's a health to all true lovers,
To their sisters and their brothers,
To their uncles and their grannies
For this thing is black and white,
If you're keen to start romancing
with its lepping and its dancing,
Go first and ask your father, he'll be sure to set you right.
