Lyrics for The Shape of Things by Kingston Trio:
| | | Artist: | Kingston Trio |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | The Shape of Things | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 60 | | | | Lyrics: | Sheldon Harnick
Completely round is the perfect pearl the oyster
manufactures.
Completely round is the steering wheel that leads to compound
fractures.
Completely round is the golden fruit that hangs on the orange tree.
Yes, the
circle shape is quite reknowned.
'Tis sad to say it can be found in the low-down dirty run
around
My true love gave to me. Yes, my true love gave to me.
Completely square was the
velvet box he said my ring would be in.
Completely square was the envelope he said farewell to
me in.
Completely square was the handkerchief I burnish constantly.
As it dries my eyes of
the tears I shed
And blows my nose 'til it turns bright red for a perfect square is my true
love's head.
He will not marry me. No! He will not marry me.
Rectangular was the hotel
door, my true love to sneak through.
Rectangular was the transom over which I had to peek
through.
Rectangular was the hotel room I entered angrily.
Now rectangular was the wooden
box
Where lies my love 'neath the golden flox. They say he died of the chicken pox.
In part,
I must agree. One chick too many had he.
Triangular is the piece of pie I eat to ease my
sorrow.
Triangular is the hatchet blade I plan to hide tomorrow.
Triangular the relationship
that now has ceased to be,
And triangular is the garment thin that fastens on with a safety
pin
To a prize I had no wish to win.
It's a lasting memory that my true love gave to me. | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
