Saskia Hamilton - Ben Folds, Nick Hornby

I’ve only ever seen her name on a spine

But that’s enough, I want to make her mine

Never heard her voice, never seen her smile

But I’m in love with Saskia Hamilton…

Well she’s a poet, just like I want to be

But her passport alone is great poetry

And I’m in love with Saskia Hamilton

She got more assonance than she knows what to do with

I’m in love with Saskia Hamilton

She got two sibilants, no bilabial plosives

Saskia Hamilton, Saskia Hamilton.

Yeah!

Right!

Saskia Hamilton, Saskia Hamilton

Saskia, Saskia, Saskia Hamilton

Already got a girl but she sounds real bad

I’m in love with Saskia Hamilton

She got alliteration and her surname is Dagg

No hard consonants in my girl Saskia

Every single syllable sounds like Shakespeare

I’m in love with Saskia Hamilton

Gonna live with her and it’ll all be harmonious

How could it not be, when she’s that euphonious?

Gonna marry her and it’ll all be idyllic

AND MY TEACHER JUST TOLD ME THAT SHE’S DACTYLIC!

Saskia Hamilton, Saskia Hamilton.

Yeah!

Right!

Saskia Hamilton, Saskia Hamilton

Saskia, Saskia, Saskia Hamilton
