= Va O4hO
When there is a
Certain girl
Who can set your
Head a-whirl;
Makes your heart &c
Pitty-pat
At the mere sight
OF her hat;
Keeps you talking
All the time
OF her charms in
Prose and rhyme;
Fills you full of
Foolish glee,
Till you are a
Sight to see;
Makes you restless,
Keeps you sad,
Merry, morose.
Sick and glad:
Has you eyni-
Cal one day,
on the morrow
Blithe and gay;
Holds YOU tightly
On the rack
While you sigh, 'Yc
