Lyrics
It’s always been a pleasure to dedicate a measure
To the lady who intrigued me at the time.
Diana and Rosanna and Lana and Susannah
Were names I sang in rhythm and in rhyme.
Cornelia and Aurelia, Cecilia and Ophelia
Inspired lovely lyrics from my pen.
But Angela is something else again.

I can find a rhyme for Lucy,
For instance her kiss is juicy,
But I must confess, I’m lost, more or less
With Angela, Angela.
I can find a rhyme for Chloe,
For instance, her breast is snowy,
But rhyming is lame when you get a name
Like Angela, Angela.
If only her name were Olivia,
She could be a cute bit of trivia,
If she were called Maria, or even Dorothea,
She’d be my Sole Mia divine.
I can find a rhyme for Irma,
She’s heaven on terra firma,
But Angela has no patter and yet, what does it matter
If Angela’s heart rhymes with mine.
