Pretty Little Picture

In the Tiber there sits a boat Gently dipping its bow Trim and tidy and built to float Pretty little picture? Now Put a boy on the starboard side Leaning out of the rail Next to him put a blushing bride Slim and slender and starry-eyed Down below put a tiny bed The sun gets pale The sea gets red And off they sail on the first high tide The boat and the bed and the boy and the bride It's a pretty little picture, oh my Pretty little picture, how true Pretty little picture, which I Pseudol-iddle-us, give to you Feel the roll of the playful waves See the sails as they swell Hear the whips on the galley-slaves Pretty little picture? Well Let it carry your cares away Out of sight, out of mind Past the buoy and through the bay Soon there's nothing but sea and spray Night descends and the moon's aglow Your arms entwined You steal below And far behind At the edge of day The bong of the bell of the buoy in the bay And the boy and the bride and the boat are away It's a pretty little picture to share As our little boat sails to sea Take your little trip free as air Have a little freedom on me No worries, no bothers No captains, no fathers In the ocean an island waits Smooth and sandy and pink Filled with lemons and nuts and dates Pretty little picture? Think In a cottage of cypress trees Seashells dotting the door Boy and bride live a life of ease Doing nothing but what they please And every night when the stars appear There's nothing more To see or hear Just the shore Where the lovers lie The sand and the sea and the stars and the sky And the sound of a soft little satisfied sigh All your petty little problems will cease And your little blessings will flow And your little family increase All our petty little problems will cease And our little blessings will flow And our little family increase Pretty little picture? Pretty little masterpiece Pretty little picture
