Well, I didn’t mean really to the end of the world

Then how fur did you want to go?

Oh, about as far as say Claremore to the hotel

Whut’s at the hotel

In front of the hotel is a veranda - inside is a lobby - upstairs - upstairs might be paradise.

Don’t start talkin’ purty, Will.

See a lot of beautiful gals in Kansas city. Didn’t give one a look.

How could you see ‘em if you didn’t give ‘em a look?

I mean I didn’t look lovin’ at ‘em - like I look at you.

Oh, Will, please don’t look like that! I cain’t bear it.

Won’t stop lookin’ like this till you give me a little ole kiss.
