Lyrics
- On the Summer shore, where the breakers roar
Lovers sat on the glistening sand
And they talked of love, while the moon above
And the stars seemed to understand
Then she grew more cold, and he grew more bold
Till she thought that they had better go
But although he heard, he not even stirred
Only murmured in tones soft and low
Chorus
Cuddle up a little closer, Lovey mine
Cuddle up and be my little clinging vine
Like to feel your cheek so rosy
Like to make you comfy, cosy
Cause I love from head to toesie, Lovey mine
- Then she deigned to rest, on his manly chest
Her dear head with its flowing curls
And she said, “I’d stay, on this lap for aye
How I envy the Capland girls
For Miss Esquimaux, ’mid the ice and snow
Has no steamheat when he comes to call
Not a single glim, so it’s up to him
To whisper in summer or fall.”
