Two for the Price of One lyrics

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,

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)

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.»
