Quintessentially Yours

the first of the 'novelty foxtrots'

another love song in the style of a 1920s dance number (Ok via the Bonzos...I hope you appreciate the spoons break in the middle!)

words and music by Martin Stirrup 2016

C
Quintessentially yours
G
not qualified or circumspect
F
so don’t turn me to a nervous wreck
C G
you’re the one I adore

I’m down on the floor
no need to give a hefty push
I’m not one to beat around the bush
G C
Quintessentially yours

F C G C
You may be used to suitors who feign ambivalence
F C D G
But you know you’ll never find me sitting on the fence

So let it out with a roar
let’s not leave it in any doubt
I’m more than happy to shout it out
Quintessentially yours
