Faw-e-vah (With A Big Tongue)


Two lovers sat beneath a tree one moonlit summer night;
A beakless swallow came and roosted near.
The lass said to her sweetie-dear, "this omen brings me fright!"
Said he, "it makes no difference- IÕll be near."

(CHORUS)

For when the skies are grey
Or when the skies are blue,
IÕll be loving you
Faw-e-vah (with a big tongue),
When the mountains fall,
I will heed your call,
I will give you all
Faw-e-vah (with a big tongue).

Wild horses can't drag me away,
Not while there's blood in my veins,
But, sweetheart, if you cannot stay
Won't you lend me your nicotine stains (for a little while)?

And be you near or far,
You will find your way
And come home to stay
Faw-e-vah (with a big tongue).

(INSTRUMENTAL AND MONOLOGUE AD LIB)

I've wandered the whole world through
Wondering where you might be;
From Paris to Timbuktu
I have sung of my longing for thee,

But I know someday soon
You will say, "I do,"
Then I will be with you
Faw-e-vah (with a great, big, e-naw-mus tongue)!
