MARVIN
It’s been hot
Also very sweet
And I’m not usually indiscreet
But when he sparkles
The earth begins to sway
What more can I say?
How can I express
How confused am I by our happiness?
I can’t eat breakfast
I cannot tie my shoe
What more can I do?
If I said I love him
You might think my words come cheap
Let’s just say
I’m glad he’s mine awake
Asleep
It’s been hot
Also it’s been swell
More than not
It’s been more than words can tell
I halt
I stammer
I sing a rondelay
What more can I say?
I’ll stay calm
Untie my tongue
And try to stay
Both kind and young
I was taught
Never brag or shout
Still it’s hot
Just like how you read about
And also funny
And never too uncouth
That’s the simple truth
That’s the simple truth
Can you tell
I have been revised?
It’s so swell
Damn it, even I’m surprised
We laugh
We fumble
We take it day by day
What more can I say?
