When I saw her, she stole my heart a'somethin' So I summoned up all of my practical gumption And I made my way across to be in her presence I asked her to dance, and she gave me lessons I stepped on her toes and held her just as close I could
And I did what any sensible man would I asked her if I could take her home Her cheeks turned red, she smiled, and politely said no We were married at the courthouse under God I couldn't hear it, but I swear that angels were singing songs
