Some of it goes like this Triangular is the garment thin, That fastens on with a safety pin, A prize I had no wish to win, a lasting memory, My true love gave to me. Rectangular is the woodern box, Where lies my love 'neath the hollyhocks, They say he died of chickenpox..... or something like that. |

12 Jan 03 - 11:50 AM (#865219) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Rectangular From: Snuffy You're quoting bits of the 4th & 3rd verses (the order is Round, Square, Rectangular, Triangular). It is in the DT as "The Shape of My Love", but it's also sometimes called "The Shape of Things". I learned it from a Kingston Trio recording, but there are several others. WassaiL! V I think I'll close off this thread because the title is misleading. Please continue the discussion in the thead called Ballad of the Shape of Things. Thanks. -Joe Offer- |
