Put Your Red Dress On

Phew, this girl's a difficult nut to crack, hmm I'm not supposed to know she's having a surprise birthday party, surprise, surprise I'm not invited

Under my skin she has got, quite a lot, I can't figure out why not a single nice thing has she to say

There seems little I can do, for everything I do or say, just digs me deeper into the hole I've already dug

You are a complete mystery to me, I can't think of what to do or say and dare not try speaking to you again, as I might not make it home alive

Or dare to arrive at your party uninvited

Umm, but Petra will be welcomed

Right, so what can I 

Right, I've got it, it's time to sweet talk Petra

Enters the forge boldly, but the sight of Petra beating red hot metal with huge hammers leave me in a quiver, she has harder muscles than that strong guy at Jacob's fair

Dear Petra, he stammers, will you please do me a great favour and make something for me, right quick

Dear Jhonny, she replied sarcastically, do you seriously expect me to do you a favour after you've been such a selfish brat

Right now, I'd much rather smack you around the ears, as your stubborn pride won't let you apologise to Josie, I don't know what's got getting into you lad

Even now I sense you might be up to something so are you going to tell me what this favour is, or have you lost your tongue

Strike your hammers and make me a petit pin broach, in the shape of a red dress

Stick it onto Josie's Party Dress as a present, it will be my secret birthday surprise and the apology I can't bring myself to speak, please, please

Only when the party's done and she's enjoyed the pleasure of wearing it without anger toward me, is she to know and I will just hope the happiness doesn't fade

No words were spoken, she recognises young love even though he doesn't know it yet, on the night she silently pins it to Josie's dress, who was delighted with the gift, she'd assumed was from Petra and gave her a kiss on the cheek and a big hug
