about

About a fix-up. I sang it for the woman, Jacqui S. What she really wanted was an introduction to Eric Davidson.

lyrics

My aunt Edna's been trying to arrange
our meeting all of these years
Edna, I'd tell her, things have changed
No one nowadays interferes

Your old-country methods, well-meaning and sweet
just ain't the way things are done
The elders can't fix it so two people meet
and tell them now you get it on...

Edna she'd smile her don't-kid-yourself smile
and say well, ignore my advice
But you should consider the facts for a while
you've chosen your own one now twice

Listen to this
you'll be impressed
She's a biochemist!
Hmmm

Winds from New York say we should talk
it seems old fashioned and all
But here are some Lillies, let's go for a walk
in the park as the leaves start to fall.
