St Valentine's Day is coming
A day for love and joy.
Time to buy that box of candy
Or else a big soft toy.
Perhaps you'll have dinner
Candle-lit by the lagoon.
Perhaps you'll just have ice-cream
But eat with the same spoon.
Maybe he's rich and springs for tickets
To Hawaii, on SIA.
Maybe he's cheap and springs for tickets
SBS, to Marina Bay.
Maybe she'll bake you cookies
Just eat it and say it's nice.
Don't suggest to her that she could use it
As poison for the mice.
Maybe he'll give you just a card
Because he's out of cash
Thank him for it's really mean
To simply call it trash.
Perhaps you've had a quarrel.
If so, what a shame.
So now's the time to make up
Without apportioning of blame.
Maybe he'll come to you
With sheepish smile and rose
Maybe she'll hand you a note
While blushing from head to toes.
Take the rose and note
Smile and say thank you
How you proceed with the making up
Is entirely up to you.
Maybe you're still single.
If so, what a lark!
Today could be the day
You find a brand new spark.
That'll set your heart a-burning
And send your soul aflame.
Get up your courage, man
And ask her for her name!
Maybe you had something
Less serious in your mind.
Maybe you want to be the bee
Without a flower that'll bind.

If so you might conduct
A merry mild flirtation.
Sow wild oats, heck, go ahead
And sow a damn plantation.
Maybe you have a specific
Person in your mind.
You like him but you don't know
If he returns in kind.
Well, St Vals Day is lucky
For lovers as you know.
You like him so why not
Go up and tell him so!
Maybe you've known her for some time
And you're worried to the core,
That she sees you merely as a friend
When you want something more.
Like I said, it's St Vals day
And your luck could turn.
There could be a change of feeling
In the one for whom you yearn.
Maybe today as she says hi
Her usual cheerful smile
Will have something more that owes nothing to
The usual female guile
Maybe today as he offers to
Take your file from off your arm
There's something in his eyes that says
It's more than manners or charm.
Maybe you are none of these
Or uninterested or gay.
Don't worry, you'll still have fun
Sabo-ing friends this day.
Be discreet if you should find a pair
Snuggling on this day.
Don't stand and snicker, but get a camera
And freely snap away.
Anyway, it's Valentine's day
So go and have a ball.
No matter your state, enjoy yourself
Lovers, singles all.
