Poor, sweet, darling Roxy, she has taken to the drink.
Bright, shining Lalonde chugs til she can't think.
It's off each morning to the pub
And then she's in for another little drop
Ah, the heart of the rule is our darling Roxy!
She swaggers down the boulevard with an independent air
And then sings in the summer air and as the people stare
She says, "It's nearly half past one and it's time I had another little one!"
Ah, the heart of the rule is our darling Lalonde!
Poor, sweet, darling Roxy, she has taken to the drink,
Bright, shining Lalonde chugs til she can't think.
It's off each morning to the pub
And then she's in for another little drop
Ah, the heart of the rule is our darling Roxy!
Long years ago when men were men and fancied Rose of Rainbow Falls,
Or lovely Jade Harley or sweet Jane Crocker,
One woman put them all to shame, just one was worthy of the name
And that very dame was the young Mom Lalonde.
Poor, sweet, darling Roxy, she has taken to the drink,
Bright, shining Lalonde chugs til she can't think
It's off each morning to the pub
And then she's in for another little drop
Ah, the heart of the rule is our Darling Roxy!
But time went catching up on her like many pretty ones,
It's after you along the street before you're out the door,
Their balance vague, their looks all fade, but out of all that great brigade
Still, the heart of the rule is that same Roxy.
Poor, sweet, darling Roxy, she has taken to the drink,
Bright, shining Lalonde, chugs til she can't think,
It's off each morning to the pub
And then she's in for another little drop
Ah, the heart of the rule is our darling Roxy!
