I saw him in the patisserieRude by the eclairsOh, marvellous boy, my marvellous boyI finished my milk pie and got up to leaveAnd who did I see? My marvellous boyAs I stood up, he took my placeI saw his smile, his angel faceHe can't be mine, oh, what a wasteI could teach him a thing or twoI paid my bill, 288And I had two gloves over my shoulderI wish I were bolderThe woman I saw you with, was she your mother?Or are you her lover, my marvellous boy?She's far too oldNot young like meYou're just her playthingYou're not freeAnd now she's paying for your teaSo what's the price of tea for two?Marvellous boy, come home with meI'll take good care of youWe'll eat meringues and tarragonAnd a beer and a squalor tooAlone again in the patisserieOoh, who did I see? My marvellous boyI dropped my fork in my milk pieOoh, I spilled my teaOh, marvellous boyShe was there tooIt broke my heartI had to leave my bank well tiredIt's all over now, it's all over nowThe scenes will always be apartA bonnet fancy's not as sweet as youMarvellous boy, come home with meI'll take good care of youWe'll eat meringues and tarragonAnd a beer and a squalor too
