The Shape of My Love Completely round are the perfect pearls The oyster manufactures Completely round is the steering wheel That leads to compound fractures Completely round is the golden fruit That hangs from the orange tree Yes the circle shape is quite renowned I'm sad to say it can be found In the dirty low down run around My true love gave to me My true love gave to me Completely square was the velvet box He said my ring would be in Completely square was the envelope He said goodbye to me in Completely square was the handkerchief I flourish constantly It dries my eyes of the tears I've shed And blows my nose till it turns quite red Yes a perfect square is my true love's head He will not marry me No, he will not marry me Rectangular is the hotel door My true love tried to sneak thru Rectangular was the transom Over which I had to peek thru Rectangular was the hotel room I entered angrily Rectangular is the wooden box Where lies my love with his golden locks They said he died of the chicken pox In part I must agree One chick too many had he Triangular is the piece of pie I eat to ease my sorrow Triangular is the hatchet blade I plan to hide tomorrow Triangular is the relationship That now has ceased to be Triangular is the garment thin That fastens on with a safety pin To a prize I had no wish to win It's a lasting memory My true love gave to me. recorded by Ellie Stone and by the Limelighters SOF
