I saw him in the patisserie
Ruled by the eclairs
Oh, marvellous boy, my marvellous boy
I finished my meal by and got up to leave
And who did I see? My marvellous boy
As I stood up, he took my place
I saw his smile, his angel face
He can't be mine, oh, what a waste
I could teach him a thing or two
I paid my bill, 288
Ooh, ooh, and I had to glance
Over my shoulder, I wish I were bolder
The woman I saw you with, was she your mother?
Or are you her lover, my marvellous boy?
She's far too old
She's far too old

Not young like me
You're just her plaything
You're not free
And now she's paying for your tea
So what's the price of tea for two?
Marvellous boy, come home with me
I'll take good care of you
We'll eat meringue and tarragon
And a beany squalor too
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
Alone again in their patisserie
Ooh, ooh
Who did I see?
My marvellous boy
I dropped my fork in my milfoil
Ooh, ooh
And spilled my tea
For marvellous boy
She was there too
It broke my heart
I had to leave my bakewell tart
It seems we'll wait
I'll always be a pup, a bonnet fancy's not as sweet as you.
Marvellous boy, come home with me, I'll take good care of you.
We'll eat maran, santalabon, and a viennese twirl or two.
