21—WOULD YOU BELIEVE IT? (Yes, Uncle)

Really, you'd hardly believe it.
Still you must take it or leave it,
I'm learning to sing at a College at Kew,
I'm taught by a lady from twelve until two,
So that's where you get to—
And very nice, too!
Really? Yes! Would you believe it?

22—THINK OF ME (Yes, Uncle)

Think of me when the band is playing,
And you hear them saying, "There they go,"
Think of me when the drums are beating,
And you hear them greeting every boy they know.
Think of me when you hear them sighing,
And the flags are flying in the blue.
Say you'll always think of me,
'Cos I'm always thinking of you.

23—DIDN'T KNOW THE WAY TO (Arlette)

I only knew you look'd divine,
I only long'd to call you mine;
But I didn't know the way to.
No, you didn't know the way to.
And I didn't like to tell you!
Won't you tell me now?
I thought of lovin' things to say,
I long'd to show my lovin' way,
But I didn't know the way to,
Didn't know the way to love you.
Didn't know the way to love me?
Till you show'd me how.

24—HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN? (Bubbly)

Have you forgotten,
How we used to play together,
When we were children
In the bright and sunny weather?
You have forgotten
All the things we used to do, dear—
Have you forgotten me?
I've never forgotten you!
