We’re circling ‘round Clementine
The yellow flowers drizzle down
On carpet laid to hug the ground
To keep her feet from touching down
On asphalt laid by laymen
We’re circling ‘round Clementine
She’s speaking with the Dutchess there
And no one dare disturb the pair
They’re quite high up in fairest fare
But they will not be forever
It’s only a matter of time
It’s only a matter of time
It’s only a matter of time
Dear Clementine
We’re circling ‘round Clementine
In a flowing gown of purest silk
Laid gently on her skin of milk
What wonder when her beauty wilts
And no one’s left beside her
