Bill Caddick - I Love Her For Her Personality

From the 1979 album 'Reasons Briefely Set Down By Th'Author, To Perswade Every One To Sing'
I fell in love with Maggie, Lady Fanshawe-Fauntleroy
She is the only one for me, she fills me heart with joy.
But gossip has been spreading and rumours have been rife
To separate me from the girl I wants to be me wife.
They say I have ulteereerior motives.
I vow that not a word of it is true.
They say I am a vicked individual.
Now I ask you, do I look that way to you?
No, I loves her for her personality,
Though there's not a girl as beautiful as she,
For it's not just how she looks, nor yet the way she cooks
Although the way she rolls her dumplings does a funny thing to me,
If she was just as plain as she is pretty
Or flat where she is round where she should be
Oh I wouldn't give a jot. But still she's got a lot
Of what I loves her for, her personality.
When we walks out together, all along the avenue
We makes a handsome couple, such a pretty sight to view.
But they cut us dead in Claridges, they scorn us on the Strand,
And when we goes to the Hoperah, they laughs behind their hands.
They say as well as lustful I am greedy
And not a word I say can shut 'em up.
They say that all me money went on gambling.
Now what a way to treat an honest chap.
'Cause I loves her for her personality,
And although her father's rich, matters not to me.
Cause I don't want what he's got
His houses, horses, yachts,
His mansions in the country nor his villas by the sea.
I wouldn't care to live among the gentry
Or be chairman of his banking company.
Oh I know I will be rich when I marrys his little daughter
But I love her for her personality.
I've just received a letter and this is how it read:
"My father is extremely ill, in fact my father's dead!"
The poor young girl will be fatherless, no sister and no brother
Her father's wealth will soon be her right after her dear mother.
Her mother is a very handsome lady,
In society now she is the very cream,
And I've always had a soft spot for the duchess.
Now she's Risen very high in my esteem, in fact..
I love her for her personality.
Well I likes a woman who is motherly.
And she's not so very old, worth more to me than gold
Alhough there's plenty of that put away to make a dowry.
This time I am certain it's the real thing,
That the mother is me true love now I see.
Oh I love her, yes I love her!
Not the daughter but the mother,
And I love her for her personality.
And if the mother kicks me out, and the granny's still about
Well I love her for her personality.
