What a natural sight
For a Summery night
Let me picture for you
Just a boy who was blue

He was timid and shy
Till a girly passed by
He is happy today
He had courage to say

Excuse me, lady, if I talk
Excuse me lady, shall we walk
Excuse me, lady. I'm so
All alone upon this avenue

I'm just a human being
My eyes were made for seeing
Excuse me, lady, if my heart
Is beating with love for you
