Geoffrey Parsons (lyricist)

Geoffrey Claremont Parsons (7 January 1910 – 22 December 1987) was an English lyricist.

Parsons worked at the Peter Maurice Music Company run by James Phillips, who wrote under the pen name John Turner.

[1] The company specialized in adapting songs originally in foreign languages into the English language.

Phillips would usually assign a song to Parsons and, when the latter was finished, suggest some changes.

The credits for the English lyrics would then be given as "John Turner and Geoffrey Parsons."
