Miss Clara/azuza Sue

Last Friday I received your letter

It said your book was overdue

And you'd be by to pay your five cent fine

Within a day or two

Since that day the time drags by

Things just aren't the same

For I don't want your five cent fine

I just want to know your name

You wrote

Miss Clara, would it be to bold of me to call you Clare

My head is spinning, wonder if I dare

To let you know that I care for you Clara

Miss Clara, you're like the cover of a magazine

You outshine every star I've seen

On the silver screen, gee you're keen

Since I saw you at your desk

At the public library

You stamped my book and I took a look

And now your face is all I see

I wish I could get to know ya

So we could plan our honeymoon

We'll trade the Ivy halls for Niagara Falls

When I graduate next June

(miss Clara)

Oh, Miss Clara, I'd like to see you let down your hair

I'd like to take you with me everywhere

We'd make a nifty pair, sweetie Clare

We can go to my hometown

To meet my mom and dad

He'll try to tell you about the depression years

And all the trouble we had

Mom'll take you to the kitchen

To give you a recipe

And then dad'll take me aside to say

He's glad to have you in the family

(miss Clara)

Oh, Miss Clara, there's a cozy cottage we could share

Up on a little farm in Delaware

We'd be so happy there, if I could call you Clare

Do be do do

We do be op ee op dee dah

Boo op be op ee dah dee dah

Bah-op e-op e dah bee dah

Miss Clara, there's a cozy cottage we could share

On a little farm in Delaware, we'd be so happy there

If I could call you Clare

Miss Clara do you care

If I call you Clare

Miss Clara I swear

Ooh do be dah mm be op bah ah dee dah

Be ooh be doop bah ah dee dah
