Cupid rode pillion with me today
Helping me catch the rainbow on the bay
It took the form of a 5’1
A bundle of dynamite, zest and fun
It cleared the decks and lent me a hand
It made me feel dizzy, yet grand
And while I beheld its effects in surprise
It hauled for me, a most precious prize
It made me thrill to her dainty touch
When she whispered to me – ‘I love you so much’
Yeah, cupid rode pillion with me today
When I picked up my beloved on the way
Never shall I fall in love again
For she’s in possession of my heart and brain
The conquest for me, will not be in vain
For the love that we have, we shall retain
It’s not the silly ‘puppy love’ of youth
But the stark, plain and wholesome truth
For sun may sleep and death may die
But we’ll be together – she and I
Cupid rode pillion with me today
It way-laid me when I whisked her away
And though Time and Tide wait for no man
She’ll wait for me – my dear, beloved ‘Anne’
