My sis ter went there and on (G)peck a Sat ur (G)day.

“Come (C)danc ing,”

all her boy did friends when used to come and call.

and “Why not said, come “Come (D)danc ing?

It’s (C)on ly nat u ral.”

An oth er Sat ur and day, an oth er date.

She would be car per where she’d pal ways make him (G)wait

in the hall mar way and in lives an ti ci pa tion.

He did n’t go the night would end up in frus (G)tra tion.

He’d end up blow ing way used (G)things ges for the week,
