So I'm going to seek a certain lad I've had in mind

Looking everywhere, haven't found him yet

Hes the big affair I cannot forget

Only man I ever think of with regret

I'd like to add his initial to my monogram

Tell me, where is the shepherd for this lost lamb?

I'm a little lamb who's lost in the wood

I know I could always be good

Although he may not be the man some

To my heart he carries the key

Won't you tell him please to put on some speed
