Lyrics
[Intro]
It's rather dull in town, I think I'll take me to Paree
The missus wants to open up the castle in Capri
Me doctor recommends a quiet summer by the sea
Mmm, mmm, wouldn't it be loverly?
[Verse 1]
All I want is a room somewhere
Far away from the cold night air
With one enormous chair
Oh, wouldn't it be loverly?
[Verse 2]
Lots of chocolate for me to eat
Lots of coal makin' lots of heat
Warm face, warm hands, warm feet
Oh, wouldn't it be loverly?
[Chorus]
Oh, so loverly sittin' abso-bloomin'-lutely still
I would never budge till spring
Crept over me windowsill
[Verse 3]
Someone's head restin' on my knee
Warm and tender as he can be
Who takes good care of me
Oh, wouldn't it be loverly?
Loverly, loverly, loverly, loverly
[Verse 4]
All I want is a room somewhere
Far away from the cold night air
With one enormous chair
Oh, wouldn't it be loverly?
[Verse 5]
Lots of chocolates for me to eat
Lots of coal makin' lots of heat
Warm face, warm hands, warm feet
Oh, wouldn't it be loverly?
[Chorus]
Oh, so loverly sittin' abso-bloomin'-lutely still
I would never budge till spring
Crept over me windowsill
[Verse 6]
Someone's head restin' on my knee
Warm and tender as he can be
Who takes good care of me
Oh, wouldn't it be loverly?
[Bridge]

Oh, wouldn't it be loverly?
