Gilbert Would Never Compose a Sonnet To My Eyes Song Lyrics

---

Fred Wright(spoken):
Diana, another letter from Anne

Anne(singing from letter):
I've known Roy three weeks now
I can't find a single flaw
How he looks, how he speaks,
how he quotes his Benard Shaw
And I love the way he kisses
And I love the way he cries
And Gilbert would never compose
a sonnet to my eyes

Roy is brave and romantic
when he talks about his dreams
By the way did I mention
he's a millionaire it seems
And I really like his sholders
And I even like his ties
And Gilbert would never compose
a sonnet to my eyes

Gilbert would never compose
He has no patience for flowery prose
Gilbert, Gilbert
Gilbert would never compose
a sonnet to my eyes

Diana(Spoken):
She certainly mentions
Gibert's name a lot

Anne(singing):
Roy is regal he's royal
It's hard to believe he's real
Like my hero he's loyal
He's Averil's ideal

Diana(spoken):
Uh-oh

Anne(singing):
He is not exactly Woodsworth
But my word the fellow tries

Anne and Diana(singing):
And Gilbert Would never Compose
a sonnet to my eyes
Gilbert would never compose
He has no patience for flowery prose
Gilbert, Gilbert
Gilbert Would never Compose
Gilbert is not one of those
Gilbert Would never Compose
a sonnet to my eyes
