The first time you ever sat up with girl'
But when the embarrassment ice had been sha ,ered
And speech from your lips seemed TO fash il

Your fears To the winds of heaven were scatter,,l
And then the real pleasure ri sparkling began
Toward you she d bend that she might better hear
you
And tickle your with stray trnant curl
Oh, didn't the ylories of heaven seem near you
The first time you ever Sal up with gifl7
In the still wee srna' hours in her darkened porta
You bad her goodnight nothing more woud

And as YOU trpped home seif-satisfed mortal
You seemed TO be wa king rarifed air
Your Cd heart again would intuige in whiri
Your old breast viii echo the thrilling sensation
You felt first time you sat up with n girl.
