"Linger Longer, Queen of Tonga"

Alicia Morden's story, "The Queen of Tonga," read on "The Storytellers" April 18, 2019 edition, sent me scurrying to the 'net to see if I could come up with some lyrics to the song she mentions in her story. I came up with this:

Linger longer, Queen of Tonga
Linger longer wiv us.
Linger while the English summer
Gives us all the shivvas.
While the summer east winds blow
And shake our English livvas.


And this YouTube homage by Edmund Ros with somewhat different lyrics. Enjoy!
