A Courting Song

azorius-attention-seeker:

Write a lovely letter boy
With swoops and sweeps and curls
Calligrapher’s are just the thing to help you win your girl
Then you’ll need to dress up smart
The tailor’s here by chance
He’ll stitch your trousers, hole your belt in fine couture of France
Your shoes, my goodness, how they’re worn, but you’re too young to know
That nothing courts a woman’s scorn more than scuffs on the toe
The cobbler can attend to that
Meanwhile, you must have cake
The baker and the patisserie need work for goodness sake
Hi dee diddly um de dum de day
