Lyrics

  1. Here we are, all alone at last
    Here we are, time is fleeting fast
    You’re so very cute, you’re
    Bound to have a future
    Now’s your chance, get yourself a past

Chorus:
Kiss me, dear, what d’ya say?
Hold me, near, what d’ya say?
Kissing’s not a pastime that’s new
Queens are not above it
So you should love it
Show some pep, what d’ya say?
Go a step out-a your way
It may thrill you, it can’t kill you
Oh, outside of “No”, what d’ya say?

  1. Listen, dear, you’ve done all you can
    Leap year’s here, I’ve a little plan
    You’re the big attraction
    I’ll supply the action
    Watch this girl go and get her man
