Lyrics Ian Dury – Red (Letter)
Text:
«Dear parrot, I love you so deeply and true»
Said Reggie, destroyed and upset
«Dear cuddles, my darling, oh what shall I do?»
Said Dinky, your kinky love pet
«Dear Bonbon, your chicken lies dead in the fridge»
«Dear Porky, I ache for your touch»
«Dear Dishy, I’ll meet you on Battersea Bridge»
«Dear Bonny, come back to our hutch»
And I hope this letter will make things better
I hope you get a red letter
And I hope this letter will make things better
I hope you get a red letter
«Dear Sticky, I miss all your silly old pongs»
From Beaky, who hungers for fun
«Dear Saucy, I offer redundant regards»
Said Lucky, who hasn’t had none
Said Nonsense, «I’ve had it right up to my ears»
From Fiery, who never grows cold
«Oh gosh, how I love you, I tell you no lies»
Said Harley, before I’m too old
And I hope this letter will make things better
I hope you get a red letter
And I hope this letter will make things better
I hope you get a red letter
And I hope this letter will make things better
I hope you get a red letter
And I hope this letter will make things better
I hope you get a red letter
«Dear parrot, I love you so deeply and true»
Said Reggie, destroyed and upset
Said Dinky, your kinky love pet
«Dear Bonbon, your chicken lies dead in the fridge»
«Dear Porky, I ache for your touch»
«Dear Dishy, I’ll meet you on Battersea Bridge»
«Dear Bonny, come back to our hutch»
And I hope this letter will make things better
I hope you get a red letter
And I hope this letter will make things better
I hope you get a red letter
And I hope this letter will make things better
I hope you get a red letter
And I hope this letter will make things better
I hope you get a red letter
