Lyrics:

I never thought it peculiar

That you never gave me a smile.

I wasn't socially suited

To make it worth your while.

Oh no and I never thought it peculiar

That my heart always beat like a drum.

Each time I would see you walk by me

You were as pretty as they come.

So I sent some flowers to your doorstep.

And wrote on the card "I love you."

I don't know why but I do know that I

Had a feeling that you liked me too.

So I never thought it peculiar

When you stopped to ask me the time.

And I don't think it's terribly peculiar

That now, little girl, you are mine.
