Lyrics
Completely round is the perfect pearl the oyster manufactures
Completely round is the steering
Wheel that leads to compound fractures
Completely round is the golden fruit that hangs on the orange tree
Yes, the circle shape is quite renowned
And sad to say it can be found
In the low down dirty runaround my true love gave to me
Yes, my true love gave to me
Completely square was the velvet box he said my ring would be in
Completely square was the envelope he said farewell to me in
Completely square was the handkerchief I flourish constantly
As it dries my eyes of the tears I shed
And blows my nose till it turns bright red
For a perfect square is my true love's head
He will not marry me
No, he will not marry me
Rectangular was the hotel door my true love tried to sneak through
Rectangular was the transom over which I had to peek through
Rectangular was the hotel room I entered angrily
Now rectangular is the wooden box where
Lies my love 'neath the golden phlox
They say he died of the chicken pox
In part I must agree
One chick too many had he
Ah, me
Triangular is the piece of pie I eat to ease my sorrow
Triangular is the hatchet blade I plan to hide tomorrow
Triangular the relationship that now has ceased to be
And triangular is the garment thin that fastens on with a safety pin
To a prize I had no wish to win
It's a lasting memory that my true love gave to me
