Je score:
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
