+====== The Roving Repairman-O ======
+© 1983 & 1987 by Annie Lore
+. I am a roving repairman-o,
+The rural routes I ri-ide,
+And I shall not park my utility van
+Till my love is by my side,
+Till my love is by my side.
+. He gave a knock at the kitchen door;
+The lady said " 'O's the-ere?"
+"Oh, I am a roving repairman-o,
+"Have you any that needs repair?
+Have you any that needs repair?"
+. "I have a frost-free fridge, good sir,
+That's nane sae free of the fro-ost;
+I'd be much obliged if you'd glance inside,
+But pray, what might be the cost?
+But pray, what might be the cost?"
+. "Nine bob for the job I've ofttimes got,
+Nine bob, or nine and three-ee,
+But to have one kiss of your domestic lips
+I'd gladly work for free,
+I'd gladly work for free."
+. "A kiss or a hug I would nae grudge,
+You have beguil-ed me so-o,
+And I'd leave my frost-free fridge to thaw,
+And along with you I'd go,
+And along with you I'd go."
+. So her gloves of rubber she has cast off,
+And her apron white as sno-ow;
+She's grabbed her toothbrush and gone along
+With the roving repairman-o,
+With the roving repairman-o.
+. I am a roving repairman-o,
+The rural routes I ri-ide,
+And I shall not park my utility van
+Till my love is by my side,
+Till my love is by my side.
