FIRST ROW BALCONY
(Sherman Edwards (m) Ben Raleigh (l) )

as recorded by The Kaye Sisters
with Orchestra conducted by Tony Osborne


He broke his date with me tonight on the phone,
So I came to the picture show all alone,
And there he is in the first row balcony,
Sittin' there with somebody else!

He's the only boy for me, honestly!
I thought I was his only girl, exclusively,
My, there he is in the first row balcony,
Holdin' hands with somebody else!

How can I watch a picture show
When my heart is breaking in two?
How could he go and hurt me so?
What did I say, what did I do?

No matter how much she loves him, I love him more!
Someday he'll want me back again, just like before,
And he will be in the first row balcony,
Holdin' hands again with me!

How could he go and hurt me so?
What did I say, what did I do?

No matter how much she loves him, I love him more!
Someday he'll want me back again, just like before,
And he will be in the first row balcony,
Holdin' hands again,
Holdin' hands again with me!
