Da doo ron ron ron, da do ron ron
Somebody told me that is name was Bill
Da doo ron ron ron, da doo ron ron
Yeah, my heart stood still
Yes, his name was Bill
And when he walked me home
I knew what he was doing when he caught my eye
Da doo ron ron ron, da doo ron ron
He looked so quiet but my, oh my
Da doo ron ron ron, da doo ron ron
Teach, he caught my eye
Yes, oh my, oh my
And when he walked me home
Da doo ron ron ron, da doo ron ron
He picked me pu at seven and he looked so fine
Da doo ron ron ron, da doo ron ron
Someday soon i'm gonna mate him mine
Da doo ron ron ron, da doo ron ron
Yeah, he looked so fine
Yes, i'll mâle him mine
And when he walked me home
Da doo ron ron ron, da doo ron ron
Da doo ron ron ron, da doo ron ron
