And my heart went on a journey to the moon
When she told about her father and the gin.
But I never saw a more enchanting farce
Than the moment when she shouted,
"Move your bloomin' ..."

[dialog]

I have often walked down this __(street)__ before,
But the pavement always stayed beneath my __(feet)__ before.
All at once am I several stories high.
Knowing I'm on the street where you live.

Are there lilac trees in the __(heart)__ of town?
Can you hear a lark in any other part of town?
Does enchantment pour out of __(every)__ door?
No, it's just on the street where you live!

And, oh, the towering __(feeling)__
Just to know somehow you are __(near)__ ;
The overpowering feeling
That any second you may suddenly __(appear)__ !

People stop and __(stare)__ . They don't bother me,
For there's nowhere else on Earth that I would __(rather)__ be.
Let the __(time)__ go by. I won't care if I
Can be here on the street where you live.
