Lyrics for Brighton Rock

Happy little day Jimmy went away Met his little Jenny on a public holiday A happy pair they made So decorously laid 'Neath the gay illuminations all along the promenade It's so good to know there's still a little magic in the air I'll weave my spell Jenny, will you stay? Tarry me with pray Nothing 'ere need come between us Tell me, love, what do you say? Oh, no, I must away To my mum in disarray If my mother should discover How I spent my holiday It would be of small avail to talk of magic in the air I'll say farewell Oh, rock of ages Do not crumble, love is breathing still Oh, lady moonshine down A little people magic if you will Jenny pines away Writes a letter every day We must ever be together Nothing can my love erase Oh, no, I'm compromised I must apologise If my lady should discover How I spent my holidays
