Текст песни: Mildred, Mildred + перевод

Mildred, mildred, how I love you so

Remember the joke you told me

While we had our midnight tea

That was the funniest joke I ever heard in my life

I didn’t tell you then 'cause I was drinking the tea

Alfred, now alfred, you used to call me so

And told me how it would be nice to open a plant shop

That was the most sensible idea we had in our life

I didn’t tell you then 'cause I was reading the papers

Mildred, oh, mildred, how I love you so

Remember how you were angry when I talked to the box

You kept trying to tell me something, something about your life

But I didn’t hear you then 'cause I was watching the box

I bought a pot of plant now

And I’m watering it ev’ry day

I watched the late night talk show

And asked the man in a suit

Why he was laughing so when my wife was dead

He didn’t reply

No, he didn’t reply at all

And I burnt the box the next morning

And buried in our garden

Mildred, oh, mildred, how I miss you so

How I wish to tell you a lot of things about our life

But of course you aren’t around, you aren’t around no more

And I hear the box still laughing in the next door apartment
