There we were on the stairs
Bat your eyes unaware
Up three flights to the sky
We could see miles and miles
Ups and downs
Ups and downs
I'll never know what made it so exciting then
In and around tobacco town
You pull the strings, I dance I sing or anything
Ups and downs
Ups and downs
Come outside, we can play
Calico dress on a sunny day
Tennis green, Ban-lon shirt
Fifteen love, petulant flirt
Ups and downs
Ups and downs
I'll never know what made it so exciting then
In and around tobacco town
You pull the strings, I dance I sing or anything
Ups and downs
Ups and downs
Ups and downs
Ups and downs
Ups and downs
