Nothing is wrong with baby's eyes, noting is wrong with babys size, which makes me romantic'ly ONE A. So, you see I need to be protected. And, my turtle dove, you are elected. Palsy walsy, MY OLD PIE FACE, SINCE i MET YOU i'M A DEAD DUCK. palsy walsy, YOU OLD SLY FACE, cAN'T FORGET YOU, ROCK ON i'M STUCK, Through thick, through thin- or any :How've you been"- we'll grin and take it on the chin, Who's excited? Plan your campaign, you'll get my vote. I'll take champane or beer- because your my Palsy Walsy dear. dear.
