 ~~~~~~
 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"...
 Part I:
 ~~~~~~~
 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.
 Part II:
 ~~~~~~~~
 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!"
 Additional Lyrics:
 (w/PART I)
 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!
 (w/PART II)
 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!
 (w/PART I)
 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...
Any comments/corrections/suggestions/other syd's/anything are VERY
 welcome...
