"Memories" lyrics

Memories

Frankie Lane
He was singing "Jezebel"
I pinned an Iron Cross
To my lapel
I walked up to the tallest
And the blondest girl
I said, "Look
"You don't know me now
But very soon you will
So won't you let me see
I said won't you let me see
I said won't you let me see
Your naked body?"

"Just dance me
To the dark side of the gym
Chances are
I'll let you do most anything
I know you're hungry
I can hear it in your voice
And there are many parts of me to touch
You have your choice
Ah but no you cannot see"
She said, "No you cannot see"
She said, "No you cannot see
My naked body"

So we're dancing close
The band is playing "Stardust"
Balloons and paper streamers
They're floating down on us
She says, "You've got a minute left
To fall in love"
In solemn moments such as this
I have put my trust
And all my faith to see
I said all my faith to see
I said all my faith to see
Her naked body
Naked body
All my faith to see
All my faith
To see
All my faith
All my faith
All my faith to see
Her naked body
Her naked
Body
