Verse 1

When a wonderful girl meets a wonderful boy,

There's going to be some wonderful time,

Wonderful squeezing and wonderful sighs,

Wonderful glances from wonderful eyes,

In the shade of the trees, they will cuddle and tease,

So long as two hearts beat in rhyme.

Then they both sit close to one another

Telling tales they wouldn't tell to Mother,

When a wonderful girl meets a wonderful boy

There's going to be some wonderful time.
