Come on fellas one two
Boy what are you trying to do?
Get on back to them drums I'll start this band
One two


 One two button your shoe
 
Put on your coat and hat

 I'll play a game like that

 While I'm waiting for you
 
Three four open the door
 
Hurry for heaven's sake

 I count each step you take

 While I'm waiting for you
 
Five six my heart does tricks
 As I picture all your charm

 
Seven eight you're at the gate

 And you walk into my arms

 Nine ten kiss me again

 Tell me you get a thrill

 Just as I hope you will
 
While I'm waiting for you
 
Five six my heart does tricks
 As I picture all your charm 
Seven eight you're at the gate
 
And you walk into my arms

 Nine ten kiss me again

 Tell me you get a thrill

 Just as I hope you will

 While I'm waiting for you
