While strolling through the park one day
It was in the merry merry month of May
I was taken by surprise

By a pair of roguish eyes
In a moment my poor heart was stole away
A smile was all she gave to me

[soft-shoe break]
Of course we were as happy as can be
[soft-shoe break]

I immediately raised my hat
And finally she remarked
I never shall forget

That lovely afternoon
I met her at the fountain in the park
