Notes
Text: You looking for a Valentine, whoever would suppose / You'd ever get a valentine with such a head and nose, / You'd best stick to the nursery, and the children dandle, / Such a head and nose serves well for a handle; / You've got two kids already, therefore contented be, / I assure you for a Valentine you never will kid me.
