The Boy in the Paisley Shirt
Captivated by Paisley Dreams: Love Unveiled in Velvet and Bouffants
Lyrics
The girls all dressed like Kathy McGowan
The girls are imitating Kathy McGowan in their dress style.
Wearing make up by Mary Quant
They use makeup created by Mary Quant, a famous fashion designer.
The boys all dressed in velvet hipsters
The boys are wearing fashionable velvet hipsters.
Pointed shoes, high bouffants
They also wear pointed shoes and have high bouffant hairstyles.
There's one boy who catches her eye
A particular boy attracts her attention.
Doesn't even know his name
She doesn't know his name.
Ever such a groovy fella
He is described as a very cool guy.
Let him out the groovy cellar
She wishes he would leave the "groovy cellar," a metaphorical place for his coolness.
The girl she thought that he was shy
Initially, she thought he was shy.
Tried everything to catch his eye
She tries various methods to get his attention.
When that boy gets up to dance
When he dances, all the girls are captivated.
All the girls are in a trance
His dancing has a mesmerizing effect.
Just to say "hello" to him
Just saying "hello" to him would make her day.
Would really make her day
He is still a mysterious and desirable figure.
Ever such a groovy fella
Reiteration of his groovy and appealing qualities.
Let him out the groovy cellar
Repetition of the desire for him to leave the groovy cellar.
And she's so in love and she's so in love
She is deeply in love with the boy in the paisley shirt.
With the boy in the paisley shirt
Expressing her profound love for him.
And she's so in love yeah she's so in love
Reiteration of her intense love for the boy.
With the boy in the paisley shirt
Highlighting her affection for the boy in the paisley shirt.
And the girl's in love and the girl's in love
Emphasizing that the girls are also in love with him.
With the boy in the paisley shirt
Repetition of the girls' admiration for the boy.
And the girl's in love and the girl's in love
Restating the girls' love for him.
He's the boy
Confirmation that he is the boy they all adore.
Yes he's the boy
A reaffirmation of his identity as the beloved boy.
That she loves
Clarifying that he is the one she loves.
Woah, woah, woah
Expressing a sense of sadness or disappointment.
She feels so low
She feels low or downcast emotionally.
Woah, woah, woah
Repetition of her emotional state.
He's never even said hello
He has never greeted her despite her efforts.
