We'll go to Yonkers, where true love conquers in the wilds, 

And starve together, Dear, in Childs'.

Where our first kiss we stole, soul to soul. 

And "My Fair Lady" is a terrific show, they say; 

We both may see it close someday. 

The city's clamour can never spoil the dreams of a boy and goil;
