The Church Round the Corner
Song from The Little Thing recycled in Sally
By PG Wodehouse

There's a church around the corner that's waiting for us,
It's just above Madison Square.
I'II borrow a dollar and buy a clean collar,
And then I'II be meeting you there.

There'll be crowds in the pews and excitement and fuss
For I mean to be married in style,
And the girls will go dizzy and whisper 'Who is he?'
When I start to step up the aisle.

Dear little, dear little Church Round the Corner,
Where so many lives have begun,
Where folks without money see nothing that's funny
In two living cheaper than one.
Our hearts to each other we've trusted :
We're busted, but what do we care?
For a moderate price
You can start dodging rice
At the Church Round the Corner,
It's just round the corner,
The corner of Madison Square.

The River

When the mirk is owre the gavels, And the clatterin brigs are still, A sang comes up frae the water Swurlin by wi' a sweel.

It is mair auld nor gledness,
Mair auld nor sorrow and care;
And wha listens to yon music
His thocht grows cauld and clear:

And he feels the world's glory
Gang flitterin owre his bluid
Like the skimmer o' the lamplicht
On the dark and singin tide.
