Thou art the girlfriend, I fell for thee
Way back in nineteen-thirty-nine A.D.


Thy lips made his'try, sweet unto me
Way back in nineteen-thirty-nine A.D.


Nights were in flower, you may be sure
Not knights in armour, nights of sweet amour


Canst thou remember, long, long ago
I'd serenade you with my radio


There was no balcony to hide for me
If I could watch a Mickey Mouse with thee
Way back in nineteen-thirty-nine A.D.
