PARDON ME IF I MAY BE SO BOLD AND SAY YOUR PRETTY,
YOU MUST BE THE PRETTIEST GIRL IN ALL KANSAS CITY.
PARDON ME IF I MAY SEEM TO BE WHY' SOME' WHAT HASTY,
CAN'T YOU HEAR MY HEART IT'S SAYING PLEASE DO NOT FORSAKE ME.

CAN I TAKE YOU ON A DATE
N'IF I SEEM BRASH THEN PARDON ME.

PARDON ME WOULD YOU BE FREE THIS EVENING TO GO DANCING
OR TAKE A WALK AND HAVE A TALK AND MAYBE START ROMANCING.
PARDON ME COULD YOU AND ME EVENTUALLY GET MARRIED
AND WE COULD RIDE OUT TO OUR HOME WITH MY NEW HORSE AN CARRIAGE

CAN I TAKE YOU ON A DATE I'LL PICK YOU UP AT HALF PAST EIGHT
N'IF I SEEM BRASH THEN PARDON ME.
