Song Lyrics - Da Doo Ron Ron

I met him on a Monday and my heart stood still
Da doo ron ron ron da doo ron ron.
Somebody told me that his name was Bill
Da doo ron ron ron da doo ron ron.

Yes, my heart stood still.
Yes, his name was Bill.
And when he walked me home,
Da doo ron ron ron da doo ron ron.

He knew what he was doin when he caught my eye
Da doo ron ron ron da doo ron ron.
He looked so quiet, but my oh my,
Da doo ron ron ron da doo ron ron.

Yes, he caught my eye,
Yes, but my oh my.
And when he walked me home,
Da doo ron ron ron da doo ron ron.

He picked me up at seven and he looked so fine
Da doo ron ron ron da doo ron ron.
Someday soon I m gonna make him mine
Da doo ron ron ron da doo ron ron.

Yes, he looked so fine.
Yes, I m gonna make him mine.
And when he walked me home,
Da doo ron ron ron da doo ron ron
