Pretty Greek Girl
Lyrics from 'The Benny Hill Show'
| Oh, listen to the story of a Greek
romantic fool, I fell in love with my teacher when I was at school. But I knew our love could never be, she could not be mine, For she was nearly 23, I was 39. I went to my first dance, and I met sweet Mylene, She had the loveliest eyes that I have ever seen. I said, "Within your lovely eyes I could live and die." She said, "The left one ought to suit you then, 'cause it's got a sty." One day I was as miserable as I have ever been, I went into a phone box to try to get in touch with Jean. A policeman came and turned me out, I still can hear him yell, Then he went back into the phone box, and he turned her out as well. She's got eyes that glow like cigarettes, with ashtrays underneath, And when she bites her fingernails, her mother hides her teeth. But she wouldn't let me marry Jean, she said it was because She thought I was effeminate, and compared with her I was. So come, my pretty Greek girl, come and dance with me, Shine upon me as the golden sun shines on the sea. Fill my lonely, eager arms with your sweet ecstasy, Oh come, my pretty Greek girl, come and dance with me . . . At this point, two Greek men, played by Nicholas Parsons and Bob Todd, rise from their respective tables, move in behind him, join him in a Greek dance and then they all exit stage right. |
