Thunder of my heart's beat
As you walked down the street
Chatting, teasing that other boy
T'was your eyes and your nose
Your cheek, the tint of rose
I loved the way you flicked your hair
You glanced at me just one time
Then smiled, it was sublime
Later said he was your cousin Jack
Soon we were a pigeon pair
Holding hands in my care
Teenage love such a wondrous time
Sadly it did not last
For weeks I was downcast
How could I manage without you?
Then Rosalind appeared
She and I just adhered
'Til the day it came unstuck
Such was my teenage love
That game of push and shove
Oh to have have it over again!
