[Nellie:]
Wonder how I'd feel
Livin' on a hillside
Lookin' on an ocean
Beautiful and still
[Emile:]
This is what I need
This is what I've longed for
Someone young and smilin'
Climbin' up my hill!
[Nellie:]
We are not alike
Probably I'd bore him
He's a cultured Frenchman
I'm a little hick
[Emile:]
Younger man than I
Officers and doctors
Probably pursue her
She could have her pick
[Nellie:]
Wonder why I feel
Jittery and jumpy!
I'm like a school girl
Waitin' for a dance
[Emile:]
Can I ask her now?
I'm like a school boy!
What will be her answer?
Do I have a chance?
