| Lyrics: | 1st verse:]
Crowded thoroughfare, people here and there
Dashing up the Avenue
Maiden
young and shy, quickly passing by
Something comes in contact with her shoe
Someone's
fallen down, slipped upon the ground
It happens on a slipp'ry street
Kind young gent who
saw the accident
Helps the charming lady to her feet
[chorus:]
"Thank you, kind
sir," said she
"Welcome, sweet Miss," said he
"May I not escort you home?"
"You may
not, I'll go alone
I've a husband," said she
"And I've a wife, Miss," said he
"You
needn't call me up," said she
"My phone is one, two, three"
"Thank you," said
he
[2nd verse:]
Scene, a near cafe, couple chatting gay
Same young maiden shy
and sweet
On the he-male end sits her fellow friend
Same young man who helped her to her
feet
Maiden softly speaks, "I've been sad for weeks
My darling husband failed last
year
I'm in debt right up to here, you bet"
Fellow whispers something in her
ear
[2nd chorus:]
"Thank you, kind sir," said she
"Welcome, sweet Miss," said
he
"May I not escort you home?
I would hate to go alone"
"I live here, sir," said
she
"And so do I, Miss," said he
"Don't dare to call me," said she
"I'm always in at
three"
"Thank you," said he |
