l once had a sweetheart, the fairest of maidens
She
outshined all others that l'd known by far
I
had a friend, big fella, name of Big Harlan Taylor
Harlan
had a rubber-tyred new shiny car
Oh
the ways of the world, and the wants of a woman
If
l figured them all out, 'twould take many years

She'd
lost her desire to become my young wife
Oh
the ways of the world, and the wants of a woman
If
l figured them all out, 'twould take many years

If
a rubber-tyred new shiny car's her ambition

the ways of the world, and the wants of a woman
If
l figured them all out, 'twould take many years
