Valentine’s song by Hazel Alpaugh, 1910 in Clinton School.
To the mailbox on the corner,
if the weather’s wet or fine
I’ll go skipping in a hurry there
To post a Valentine.
It has roses, pinks or daisies
And it bears a loving line
Tis a dainty, pretty token
For a llittle friend of mine.
Round the corner comes the postman
Whistling on his merry way
While his happy smile is telling
He has jolly times today.
He is coming! He is coming!
See him hurry on his way!
And his bag is running over
With the mail he brings today.
Ting-a-ling-ling. Ting-a-ling-ling
Ah his eyes they dance and shine!
Glad to see you Mr. Postman,
Have you brought my Valentine?
