Ah love you are my verity
No need to keep of ver'juice'
For tart you can touch my heart
And yet sweeten my Manhattan unlike vermouth

The tart little taste of cherry you
So much pleasure for my tongue to tease
Ver'meil of taste sweet to please
My treasure's pleasures sung

To ease me awhile this measured day
Are my thoughts and times of you
My hearts depart of unwired waste
My tease to please of you
