This is a story 'bout a girl that I knew

she didn't like my songs

and that made me feel blue

she said: "a big band is far better than you"...



She don't rock 'n' roll, she don't like it

she don't do the stroll, well she don't do it right

well, ev'rythings wrong and my patience was gone

when I woke one morning

and remembered this song

O-oh-oh, kinda catchy, I hoped

that she would talk to me now

and even allow me to hold her hand

and forget that old band.



I strolled around to her pad

her light was off and that's bad

her sister said that my girl was gone

"But come inside, boy, and play, play, play me a song!"

I said "Yeah! Here I go"

She's kinda cute, don't you know?

That after a while of seeing her smile

I knew we could make it, make it in style!



So now I've got all I need

She and I are in love, we've agreed

she likes this song and my others too

so now you see my world is...

because of this tune!

What a boon this tune!

I tell you soon

We'll be lying in bed, happily wed,

and I won't think of that girl

or what she said
