First Love

"Pretty Polly, pretty Polly
Won't you dance with me,
When moonbeams flicker
'neath the mulberry tree,
Pretty Polly, pretty Polly
Won't you marry me
In the grapevined house
Where you promised me,
We'll nestle together
On top of a tree,
Full of love and passion,
Just you and me",
But that stupid parrot
Answered:
"Never be, never be."
