I was in love with Gilbert O'Sullivan

But she was hung up on Cat Stevens and Donovan

So when I had to lump for one of them

I chose Mr O'Sullivan

I was in love with Gilbert O'Sullivan

But she dug the cool jazz of Gerry Mulligan

So if I had to shoot one and fuck the other one

I'd choose Mr O'Sullivan

Gilbert O'Sullivan has everything you could need

If you've got kids to babysit or dogs to feed

And 'cos he sang "Nothing Rhymed"

He'll always be a friend of mine

I could not ever lose Gilbert O'Sullivan

But she loved the skiffle blues of Lonnie Donegan

So when it came the time to pick who I wanted then

I chose Gilbert O'Sullivan
