Take me, on a one way journey
Keep me, say you won't return me
I'll be, anything you make me
Hold me up and shake me
Only take me, in your arms

Take me, on a merry goose chase
Use me, I could never lose faith
Date me, lobster tail and steak me
Tiffanies and break me
Only take me in your arms

(If you take me in to your heart
I'll promise you, we'll never part)

I'll cherish you and keep you from all harm
Just take me in the band of your arms
Take me, home to meet your mother
Father, sister and your brother
Make me, shoes and rice and cake me
Then when you await me, darling take me in your arms
