I'm nervous and upset
Because this girl I've never met
I get to meet, tonight at eight.
I'm taking her to dinner at a charming old cafe but who can eat, tonight at eight?
It's early in the morning and our date is not 'til eight o'clock tonight and yet already I can see
What a nightmare this whole day will be.
I haven't slept a wink, I only think of our approaching tete-a-tete
Tonight at eight.
I feel a combination of depression and elation.
What a state to wait 'til eight.
Three more minutes, two more seconds, ten more hours to go!
In spite of all I've written she may not be very smitten and my hopes, perhaps, may all collapse, kaput, tonight at eight!
I wish I knew exactly how I'll act and what will happen when we dine, tonight at eight.
I know I'll drop the silverware but will I spill the water or the wine, tonight at eight?
Tonight I'll walk right up and sit right down beside the smartest girl in town and then it's anybody's guess.
More and more I'm breathing less and less.
In my imagination I can hear our conversation taking shape, tonight at eight.
I'll sit there saying absolutely nothing or I'll jammer like an ape tonight at eight.
Two more minutes, three more seconds, ten more hours to go!
I'll know when this is done if something's ended or begun and if it goes alright, who knows, I might propose tonight at eight!
