lyrics

Waiting for Louise to come by
And for my eyes to blaze with joy
When I hug her hello.

She’s a dear old friend of mine
I’ll move mountains and hem and haw
For her to be my confidante.

By my lights, she’s a tassel of delight,
A darling of fortune,
Even seabirds know her name.

Waiting for Louise
Avoir un coeur d’artichaut
Waiting for Louise
She is well-nigh here and here
Waiting for Louise

Oh, Louise, where are your deft euphonious feet?
The waitress here thinks I’m a
Loose-leaf tea man.

You’ve had so much time for me
I owe you more than
Orchards of courgettes.

I know men throw themselves in the way of your kisses.
But even though you’re spoken for
I’ll still sing you this song.

I could sit here peeling an artichoke.
I could sit here to which it may be germane.
But I’d rather just sit here and wait for Louise.
