I'm at a loss to put it across
In ordinary words
That I'm in love with you.
So in love with you.
Here is a twist that maybe I've miss'd
With ordinary words,
I'll say what I have to say
In a slightly diff'rent way.
Let's put some people to work.
Let's get some carpenters
To build a bungalow.
Some where in the country
The flowers like to grow.
Let's put some people to work.
Lets get the painter
With his bucket and his brush,
Have him paint the walls to match
The colour of our blush,
Let's put some people to work.
We won't build a royal mansion,
Like some eccentric millionaire.
To me, it will be a mansion,
As long as I know you'll be there.
So let's put the preacher to work.
Let's put the baker man
To bake a wedding cake.
We can do a lot of good
And give them all a break,
So ring out the wedding chimes,
And let's put some people to work.
