about

A nonsensical waltz about seersucker. Don't you just love a man in a seersucker suit?

lyrics

I'd run out of steam before ever catching up with you
Your tenacity is quite admirable,
but there's always something you can't quite do
If you keep on chasing the stars in your eyes
You'll never find anything, what a surprise
But if you find something, you'll make it enough
To stop me from calling your bluff

Waltzing after my seersucker prince
My herringbone tiptoes 'round him for an instant
first I lead him, then let him steal the lead
Now he's stolen my heart from me

When you're born in the gutter, you'll always end up in the port
Don't let it worry you all too much dear
I'd never lump you in with that sort
If we can stop blaming the fault in our stars
Then maybe someday we'll be richer than czars
Keep up your chin dear, sing this with me
la di dee dah di dee dee
