Slender tender clever, brightened young and fine,
To Vegas Claudine Longet came, arriving just in time
To dance, to act, to be--to shine.
Schooled in ballet, drama-trained, she worked until
Her car broke down. "Hello," said Andy Williams,
Passing by. "Pardon?" said Miss Longet. "Help have I,"
Said Andy, and in a little while, the car was fixed
And the two were wed and then, and by and by,
two children came
And Claudine Longet said "Bye Bye"--farewell to
footlights, arclights, fame.
Well, "au revoir" was what she meant, for in a year or so
She sang a song on Channel Four and Alpert said "Hello!
"There's magic here--and honesty;
"We'll sign her, seal her, albums make."
Thrice one LP's there are by now--this one is
Number Three;
A lovely thing--a joy to hold, to hear, to know, to see.
Slender, tender, clever--still brighteyed young and fine,
Claudine's here for ever now. She's Andy's, yours
-and mine. -Derek Taylor
