Watchin' girls go by, me oh my
Oh, what a lovely way to spend the afternoon
Watchin' girls go by that's how I spend my time
Picking out the ones I'd like to make love to

When I was just a boy, I put away my toys
'Cause I had been affected by the opposite sex and I had found
My mouth began to water, those sweet young things were better
A new past time that turned my head around

Watchin' girls go by, me oh my
Oh, what a lovely way to spend the afternoon
Watchin' girls go by that's how I spend my time
Picking out the ones I'd like to make love to

A little older, a little tame but it's still the same old game
'Cause I am still attracted to those sexy lasses all around
But I've found what I've been needin' and I don't just stand there dreamin'
I'm just comparing them to what I found

Watchin' girls go by, me oh my
Oh, what a lovely way to spend the afternoon
Watchin' girls go by that's how I spend my time
But you're the only one I wanna make love to

Watchin' girls go by, me oh my
Oh, what a lovely way to spend the afternoon
Watchin' girls go by that's how I spend my time
But you're the only one I wanna make love to
Yes, you're the only girl I wanna make love to
