Conversation is going 'round
People talking 'bout the girl who's come to town
Lovely lady pretty as can be
No one knows her name she's just a mystery
I have seen her maybe once or twice
One thing I can say thought she's very nice
She's a lady one I really want to know
Somehow I've got to let my feeling show
 
(She's fresh, fresh) exciting
