The Darlings

The situation is becoming quite desperate

I'm completely at my wits end

However hard I try

I can't tie this wretched tie

And it's sending quietly 'round the bend

My dearest, there is something I will promise

Though I don't give in without a fight

But unless it's 'round my neck

In less than half a sec

We don't go out to dinner tonight!

Oh, father

We are the darlings

Everyone a darling

It's the title of our family

And it's hard to ascertain

Quite where we got the name

I'm just a darling

That's me

Yes, we are the darlings

Remember, we're the darlings

But there's no cause to make a fuss

For as people walk our way

We are very proud to say

We are the darlings

That's us!

George dear

You're getting all upset

You know it's not good for you

Now calm down

I am calm!

If you take life just a bit slower

Don't get excited, try to stand still

I'm standing still

If you slowly count to three

Then very soon you'll see

Your mountain problem was just a molehill

Molehill?

My dearest, if you hand me your tie

I promise the battle will be won

There's no need to stomp and shout

We'll enjoy our evening out

There you are

No sooner said than done

Oh, we are the darlings

Everyone a darling

It's the title of our family

And it's hard to ascertain

Quite where we got the name

I'm just a darling

That's me

Oh, we are the darlings

Just remember, we are the darlings

And there's no cause to make a fuss

And as people walk our way

We are very proud to say

We are the darlings

That's us
