Thereâs enough rum runners and scofflaws
to drown you,
Itâs a wonder how, how I found you.
My dear, my dear Margaret,
I hope that my transmission finds you well.
Iâm leaving from the base here on Saturday,
Meet you at the Palace Hotel.
Wear your fur coat,
Formal on the late boat.
Itâs been such a long time,
I canât believe youâre still mine.
Iâll be counting down the days.
One, two, three days away,
Three days away on the blackball line.
My dear, my dear,
My heart grew faint upon your call.
Surrounded by a crowd of affection,
You know I will gladly trade it all.
Iâm in a dream now,
I hope you hear me somehow.
Itâs been such a long time,
I canât believe youâre still mine.
Iâll be counting down the days.
One, two, two days to go,
Two days to go on the blackball line.
Thereâs enough rum runners and scofflaws
to drown you,
Itâs a wonder how, how I found you.
Wear your fur coat,
Formal on the late boat.
Itâs been such a long time,
I canât believe youâre still mine.
Iâll be counting down the days.
Three, two, one day left,
One day left on the blackball line.
