Pamela, Pamela (1966)

(Gouldman)



Pamela, Pamela

Remember the days

Of inkwells and apples

And books and school plays

Where little Brer Rabbit kissed Pooh in the wood

And Fluff was the cat that sat on the rug

Oh, Pamela

I remember so well



When Laurel and Hardy were shown at the flicks

With sticky red lollies on splintery sticks

Pigtails and ribbons and crushes on miss

Secret discussions about a first kiss

But you were young

And everything was new

Impatient to do things you couldn't do

Oh, Pamela, Pamela

You started to grow

Answers to questions you wanted to know



When the rest of your childhood

Forgets as a dream

And the harshness of life

Dims those peaches and cream



When Laurel and Hardy were shown at the flicks

With sticky red lollies on splintery sticks

Pigtails and ribbons and crushes on miss

Secret discussions about a first kiss

But you were young

And everything was new

Impatient to do things you couldn't do
