Yoko Ono - Mildred Mildred LYRICS

Mildred, mildred, how I love you so,

Remember the joke you told me

While we had our midnight tea.

That was the funniest joke I ever heard in my life,

I didnt tell you then cause I was drinking the tea.



Alfred, now alfred, you used to call me so.

And told me how it would be nice to open a plant shop.

That was the most sensible idea we had in our life,

I didnt tell you then cause I was reading the papers.



Mildred, oh, mildred, how I love you so,

Remember how you were angry when I talked to the box.

You kept trying to tell me something, something about your life,

But I didnt hear you then cause I was watching the box.



I bought a pot of plant now

And Im watering it evry day.

I watched the late night talk show

And asked the man in a suit

Why he was laughing so when my wife was dead.



He didnt reply,

No, he didnt reply at all.

And I burnt the box the next morning

And buried in our garden.



Mildred, oh, mildred, how I miss you so,

How I wish to tell you a lot of things about our life.

But of course you arent around, you arent around no more

And I hear the box still laughing in the next door apartment.
