This one's in the style of Let it snow! A tribute to Eddie & Francine's love story
(Eddie sings about his inability and helplessness in expressing his love for Francine)
Oh, I'd talk to er bout it, mate, but it's just too frightful
Though the lass erself is so delightful
But since I've no words to express myself, so,
I'm afraid to let it show, let it show...let it show...
(Campbell, determined to play Cupid ,sings)
Man, yer startin to show signs o' agein'
And might never love again if ya quit before even tryin!
Just turn the lights way down low
An' let er know, let er know, let er know!
(Campbell continues, like an all knowin God o' love!)
When ya finally kiss good-night
Ya won't hate goin out alone in the storm
An' if ya really hold er tight
All the way home you'll be warm
(Eddie appears hesitant, so Campbell hatches a plan to convince him by singing)
Lost er basket o' kittens, she has, ol boy,
(Eddie gulps, sad for her loss)
I know....but, Campbell, love is no toy!
(Fergus adds)
I did hear er sobbin!
(But, Campbell won't take no for an answer!)
Inside, she's slowly dyin!
Now's yer chance to be comfortin...
And, my dear Eddie, why're we still ere talkin...?
If I were ya I'd stop gawkin an' dreamin an' start speakin!
(The lanky boy nudges the older man)
(Eddie stammers)
Campbell, I dunno if I've the courage to speak to the lass...
(Campbell, interrupting in a loud tone)
There she is! What're ya waitin for...Christmas?!
(Eddie is in high spirits later)
I went up to er at lunch, I did!
Said I loved er so...
She loves me too, ya know?!
(Fergus mutters)
Everyone knows, Eddie!
(Eddie, ignoring him)
Oh! How we let it show, let it show, and show!
(Eddie singing his heart out, recounting happily. Campbell's predictions have come true! )
When we finally kissed good-night
I held er arm, said it'd be alright.
What d'you know...she hugged me so tight!
An' all the way home I felt warm!
(Eddie does a lil jig as he sings giddily)
Oh! I no longer feel like I'm slowly dyin
An' can feel the shutters o'er my closed up ol heart slowly risin!
As long as Francine an' I love each other so...
(A blushing Francine chimes in with him)
We'll let everyone know, let everyone know, let everyone know!
