Two for The Price of One

He had what you might call a trivial occupation

He cleaned the platforms of the local railway station

With no romance in his life

Sometimes he wished he had a wife

He read the matrimonial advertising pages

The cries for help from different people, different ages

But they had nothing to say

At least not until the day

When something special he read

This is what it said:

If you dream of the girl for you

Then call us and get two for the price of one

We’re the answer if you feel blue

So call us and get two for the price of one

If you dream of the girl for you

(if you are dreaming of someone who might be right for you)

Then call us and get two for the price of one

(why don’t you call us and you’ll get two for the price of one)

We’re the answer if you feel blue

(we may be the answers to your problem, a chance with we two)

So call us and get two for the price of one

(why don’t you call us and you’ll get two for the price of one)

He called the number and a voice said, ’alice whiting’

The voice was husky and it sounded quite exciting

He was amazed at his luck

The purest streak of gold he’d struck

He said, ’i read your ad, it sounded rather thrilling

I think a meeting could be mutually fulfilling

Why don’t we meet for a chat

The three of us in my flat

I can’t forget what I read’

This is what it said:

If you dream of the girl for you...

So call us and get two

(why don’t you call us and you’ll get two)

For the price of one...

She said, ’I’m sure we must be perfect for each other

And if you doubt it you’ll be certain when you meet my mother’
