Tell Laura I Love Her

Tell Laura I Love Her

    

    TELL LAURA I LOVE HER!
    TELL LAURA I NEED HER!
    TELL LAURA NOT TO CRY
    MY LOVE FOR HER WILL NEVER DIE.
    Ladies and gentlemen, I want to tell you,
    Oh yes, Laura and I were lovers¹ for a long time ladies and gentlemen
    'Til God took her away for a special purpose of his very own.
    I must admit I was a bit cheesed off at the time.
    I had a special purpose in mind myself.
    But there you go.
    Oh, sure, we'd lovers tiffs² like anybody else.
    Like the time, in a moment of weakness, I sunk
    and I bought a dirty magazine.
    And in that magazine, ladies and gentlemen,
    I read about erogenous zones.
    In a very sly³ way, ladies and gentlemen,
    I invited Laura over to my place, ostensibly for coffee and cookies.
    And we were sitting on the sofa,
    and we were necking, ladies and gentlemen, necking.
    And I guess I must have touched one of her erogenous zones,
    ladies and gentlemen,
    Because she kneed me in one of mine.
    TELL LAURA I LOVE HER!
    TELL LAURA I NEED HER!
    TELL LAURA NOT TO CRY
    MY LOVE FOR HER
    WILL NEVER DIE.
    Oh ladies and gentlemen, I can't tell you,
    How could I ever forget
    that day God took Laura away for a special purpose of his own.
    We were downtown shopping for Laura's mum.
    She wanted some rubber bedclothes and an inflatable man.
    Strange woman Laura's mum.
    But anyhow, we were walking hand in hand down Main Street
    When a child ran onto the road, ladies and gentlemen.
    I said "Oh my God, my nerves⁴!" and I covered my eyes
    I guess I'm that kind of guy.
    But Laura, who was made of stronger stuff⁵ than I,
    dashed onto the road to save that child.
    Ladies and gentlemen, I wanna tell you,
    the child made it to the other side
    and turned round and said "Eee eu eee-e eh-eu"
    but Laura didn't.
    She made it to the white line in the centre of the road,
    ladies and gentlemen,
    when a juggernaut came around the corner sideways and flattened⁶ her.
    TELL LAURA I LOVE HER!
    TELL LAURA I NEED HER!
    (I blame myself, I blame myself)
    TELL LAURA NOT TO CRY
    MY LOVE FOR HER
    WILL NEVER DIE.
    Oh ladies and gentlemen, how can I tell you,
    Some nights I lie awake, awash with sweat⁷,
    as I hear the exact noise those lorries⁸ made when they flattened Laura
    It was a sorta "SPLAT"
    You know the noise you get
    When you stick a straw⁹ up a frogs bum¹⁰ and blow really hard
    I blame myself
    I wanna tell you, ladies and gentlemen
    Main Street was not a pretty sight
    There was bits of Laura everywhere
    I remember, two bits were sliding down the post office window
    And a big Alsatian came around the corner
    and made off with another couple of bits
    And it was with a heavy heart
    And a tear in either eye
    I searched, and I searched
    but I couldn't find the bit I was looking for!
    TELL LAURA I LOVE HER!
    TELL LAURA I NEED HER!
    TELL LAURA NOT TO CRY
    MY LOVE FOR HER
    WILL NEVER DIE.
