I never saw this girl before I was astonished as can be Somebody told me she said you're just a hungry little guy So I would like to offer me to bake some cake for you The sweetest one you've ever tried The one that makes you satisfied I'm dreamin' while you slip away
She really took me by surprise One piece of cake was not enough We danced in fool's paradise and I got drunk of all the love Then I realized she moved her velvet body over mine I just admit this woman was divine I'm Dreamin' while you slip away
While Buddy the sweeper was singing a sad song And Mary the singer swept the street The honeymoon's floating over the river
All the pain was over now She said: "Bye, bye, little babe" She closed her eyes and disappeared I hope some day we'll meet again you honey-bee I love the way you bake Don't care about my stomach-ache I'm dreamin' while you slip away
While Buddy the sweeper was singing a sad song And Mary the singer swept the street The honeymoon's floating over the river
