Glad To Know You
Kitty Grant Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Said the turkey to the carving knife, "What you give is what you get"
"A fresh and lovely summers day we thought would never end"
Said the bloodhound to the stag at bay, "I thought you were my friend" (I thought you are my friend)
"Glad to know you", and by way of welcome, "Pleased to meet you"
"We laugh and cry as lovers will and howl at many moons"
Said the waiter as he wrote the bill, "Please return the spoons"
Said Robin Hood to Little John, "There must be other ways" (There must be other ways)
"Glad to know you", a way of saying welcome, "Pleased to meet you
Pleased to meet you"
"We rest and kissed and talked and strolled, a very precious idle"
Said knife and fork to sausage roll, "It's pinky in the middle"
"And thus it seems, come rain and shine, the passion still unfolds"
Said the pike upon the angler's line, "I wish that I'd been told" (I wish that I'd been told)
"Glad to know you", and by way of welcome, "Pleased to meet you"
(I wish that I'd been told)
"Glad to know you", and by way of welcome, "Pleased to meet you"
(I wish that I'd been told)
"Glad to know you", and by way of welcome, "Pleased to meet you"
(I wish that I'd been told)
"Glad to know you"...

The second verse portrays lovers who experience both happy and sad moments, as well as some funny situations such as the waiter asking for the spoons back. The last verse talks about the characters resting, kissing, talking, and walking, living a precious moment together. The last line, "I wish I'd been told" can be interpreted as the character regretting not knowing something earlier or not being warned about something.
The overall message of the song seems to be a celebration of connection and relationships in different forms. It hints at the idea that people learn from each other, that they experience good and bad moments together, and that life is a maze that can be navigated alongside others.
