Who’s gonna steam up all your dance halls?

Who’ll put your lilies in a vase, 
Eb                          C     
when all the good men have had all their daughters, and 
Eb                       C 
all the other men have fallen in with daises?

that just don’t get my moves.

And I will miss the way I got caught up in you.
