Missy, Missy Lyrics
Missy Missy (Mike Leander, Chas Mills)
Missy, Missy
Born to be a dreamer
Optimistic schemer
That's what you turned out to be
Missy, Missy
Chasing after moonbeams
Reaching for the moon seems such a waste of time to me
You'll grow old searching for a pot of gold
When you're born
The things you've got are worth a lot more
Missy, Missy
How can I convince you
Tell the king or prince to come
And carry you away
Missy, Missy
What's the use of pining
For a silver lining
When your sky is never grey
You'll grow old
Searching for a pot of gold
I don't care for building castles up in the air
Missy, Missy
Break this spell you're under
You'll find something wonderful
If you come down to earth
Missy, Missy
Life is meant for living
Take this heart I'm giving
With my love
For only
For only you
Born to be a dreamer
Optimistic schemer
That's what you turned out to be
Chasing after moonbeams
Reaching for the moon seems such a waste of time to me
When you're born
The things you've got are worth a lot more
How can I convince you
Tell the king or prince to come
And carry you away
What's the use of pining
For a silver lining
When your sky is never grey
Searching for a pot of gold
I don't care for building castles up in the air
Break this spell you're under
You'll find something wonderful
If you come down to earth
Life is meant for living
Take this heart I'm giving
With my love
For only
For only you

A simple lyric by Chas Mills and Mike Leander about a dreamer, to a catchy tune worthy of a higher chart placing than 43. The Ryan twins had a string of Top 50 hits but none made the top ten. This fared better on the offshore radio charts with a London Fab Forty peak of 12 and a #10 on the City Sixty.
In the Style of (and could be interpreted as a record by) the New Vaudeville Band, this highly underrated gem is waiting to be re-discovered and lumped into a cute TV ad for something.
