| In this year of Seventeen-Ninety-Two
|
| Our conventions have been thrown all askew
|
| And I know I’m out of date when I seek one mate
|
| One faithful lover true
|
| To be really in the fashion today
|
| You must have a dozen beaux in your sway
|
| But somehow I don’t believe in the modern plan
|
| I want to wait for just one man
|
| (It's more fun to love 'em all)
|
| Kiss 'em all, short and tall)
|
| I have another scheme
|
| It’s my only dream
|
| One kiss, one man to save it for
|
| One love for him alone
|
| One word, one vow, and nothing more
|
| To tell him I’m his own
|
| One magic night within his arms
|
| With passion’s flower unfurled
|
| And all my life I’ll love only one man
|
| And no other man in the world
|
| (You've been reading stories of romantic glories)
|
| (Are you growing sad for your Galahad?)
|
| Soon my Knight may find me
|
| Softly steal behind me
|
| Put me on a horse
|
| And carry me away
|
| Laugh all you like at me
|
| I’ll find my man, you’ll see
|
| One kiss, one man to save it for
|
| One love for him alone
|
| One word, one vow, and nothing more
|
| To tell him I’m his own |
| One magic night within his arms
|
| With passion’s flower unfurled
|
| And all my life I’ll love only one man
|
| And no other man in the world |
