Dear Arabella

Dear Arabella - Glenn Miller

Dear Arabella this Army life's okay

But Arabella I miss you more each day

While I'm parading and reducing fore-and-aft

I hope that your love won't get cold in the draft

Kindly remember wherever you may be

You're your private's private property

Dear Arabella

Remember I'm your fella

And you're mine all mine

Hey Sergeant hold my mop and pail

Won't you clean up while I go and get my mail

You got a letter from Arabella

Well I'm Arabella's fella

There's an Airmail Special on it's way

She writes the same thing every day

Dear Private Johnny don't worry over me

'Cause Private Johnny I'm faithful as can be

I keep your picture by the sofa near the fire

For me and my boyfriends to sit and admire

They may want kisses but I am always true

I close my eyes and make believe it's you

So lucky fella

You can depend on Arabella

Drop me a line

Tall dark and private

Arabella my Arabella

Oh won't you tell me that you're mine
