That Pete, he’s mine

Those curtains

The same as Kate’s curtains

Except

A different pattern

Except

Another colour

And no silk trim


Those biscuits

The same as Kate’s biscuits

Except

These are fancy

Except

Another kind of chocolate

And no coconut


Those tender moments

The same as Kate’s tender moments

Except

No, just the same

Except

No just the same, no other

And no regrets


We’re southern belles

In northern towns

We’re southern girls

In our summer gowns


This loving man

The same as Kate’s loving man

Except

That this ones mine

Except

That Pete, he’s mine

And well, did I ever tell you, he is so damned fine
