Refrain:
All I want is a room somewhere, Far away from the cold night air,
With one enormous chair; Oh, wouldn't it be loverly?
Lots of chocolate for me to eat; Lots of coal makin' lots of heat;
Warm face, warm hands, warm feet, Oh, wouldn't it be loverly?
Oh, so lovely sittin' abso-bloomin'-lutely still!
I would never budge 'till spring crept over me window sill.
Someone's head restin' on my knee; Warm and tender as he can be;
Who takes good care of me, Oh, wouldn't it be
 
First Ending:
Loverly? Loverly! Loverly!
 
Second Ending:
Loverly? Loverly! Loverly! Loverly!
Loverly!
