Tall Jemima

Tall Jemima falls in love

Half a dozen times a day

No two times are quite the same

And each one hits her in a different way

With some, we’re talking basic lust

Inspired by bumps and curves and such

Others, it’s the way they speak

She longs to listen, not to touch

Some people make her want to start

To be a better human girl

Some are nerds, and she just wants

To be part of their complicated world

There’ll be a girl who’s mind will spark

With firework thoughts that turn her on

Or some guy with a great moustache

She longs to feel its bristles on her tongue

One woman, with the world’s best smile

Inspires in her no greater plan

Than just to walk and talk and laugh

And hold her gaze

And hold her hand

One boy will serve for laughter.

Antics daft and matters frivolous

Another is for wine and and fire

And darkness, and all things carnivorous

Jemima’s love is true and fierce

And needs no place to call a home 

The fire within her burns and dances

Twice as bright for half as long

Tall Jemima falls in love

Half a dozen times a day

No two times are quite the same

And each one hits her in a different way

Tall Jemima falls in love

And every time is true

And if you see her, be prepared

She’ll see what makes you wonderful

And fall in love With you
