[00:07.29]Last night or the night before that
[00:10.06]And I won’t say which night
[00:13.20]A seaman friend of mine
[00:15.17]
[00:15.91]And I’ll not say which seaman
[00:19.49]Walked up to a big old building
[00:22.92]And I won’t say which building
[00:25.74]And would have not walked up the stairs
[00:28.65]
[00:29.25]Not to say which stairs
[00:32.11]If there had not been two girls
[00:35.65]Leaving out the names of those two girls
[00:38.66]I recall a door  a big long room
[00:41.94]And I’ll not tell which room
[00:44.86]I remember a deep blue rug
[00:47.01]
[00:48.20]But I can’t say which rug
[00:50.85]
[00:51.36]A girl took down a book of poems
[00:54.66]Not to say which book of poems
[00:57.89]And as she read  I laid my head
[01:00.37]
[01:00.90]And I can’t tell which head
[01:03.67]
[01:04.21]Down in her lap
[01:06.27]
[01:07.07]And I can't mention which lap
[01:09.12]
[01:11.13]My seaman buddy and his girl moved off
[01:13.93]After a couple of pages
[01:15.03]
[01:16.39]And there I was  all night long
[01:19.18]
[01:19.77]Laying and listening and forgetting the poems
[01:22.42]
[01:24.35]And as well as I could recall
[01:25.79]
[01:26.73]Or my seaman buddy could recollect
[01:28.17]
[01:29.81]The girl had told us that she was a niece
[01:31.79]Of Walt Whitman  but not which niece
[01:34.41]
[01:36.20]And it takes a night and a girl
[01:38.58]And a book of this kind
[01:39.82]
[01:40.42]A long  long time to find it’s way back
[01:42.95]
[02:16.61]Last night or the night before that
[02:19.68]And I won’t say which night
[02:22.77]A seaman friend of mine
[02:24.81]
[02:25.66]And I’ll not say which seaman
[02:29.07]Walked up to a big old building
[02:32.49]And I won’t say which building
[02:35.35]And would have not walked up the stairs
[02:38.30]
[02:38.83]Not to say which stairs
[02:41.74]If there had not been two girls
[02:44.57]
[02:45.08]Leaving out the names of those two girls
[02:47.83]I recall a door  a big long room
[02:51.25]And I’ll not tell which room
[02:54.19]I remember a deep blue rug
[02:56.31]
[02:57.49]But I can’t say which rug
[03:00.23]
[03:00.82]A girl took down a book of poems
[03:03.02]
[03:03.95]Not to say which book of poems
[03:07.15]And as she read  I laid my head
[03:10.54]But I can’t tell which head
