There we were on the stairs
Bat your eyes unaware
Up three flights to the sky

We could see miles and miles

Ups and downs

Ups and downs
I'll never know what made it so exciting then
In and around tobacco town

You pull the strings, I dance I sing or anything
Ups and downs
Ups and downs


Come outside, we can play
Calico dress on a sunny day


Tennis green, Ban-lon shirt
Fifteen love, petulant flirt


Ups and downs
Ups and downs

I'll never know what made it so exciting then
In and around tobacco town
You pull the strings, I dance I sing or anything

Ups and downs
Ups and downs
Ups and downs

Ups and downs
Ups and downs
