As I was walking down the street
A pretty girl did I meet
She's looking all so sweet
Got a major from her head to her feet
I was looking back to see
If she was looking back to see
If I was looking back at her
She glowed with such a beautiful smile
She must have been a beautiful child
Man she was all so neat
A major from her head to her feet
I was looking back to see
If she was looking back to see
If I was looking back at her
- Guitar Solo -
Her hair was curly shining bright
Her shoes in black were just delight
She wore the very best of clothes
And also black and nylon hose
I was looking back to see
If she was looking back to see
If I was looking back at her
As I was walking down the street
A pretty girl did I meet
She was looking all so sweet
Got a major from her head to her feet
I was looking back
She was looking back
I was looking back at her
I was looking back to see
If she was looking back to see
If I was looking back at her
