I met this girl for the first time on saturday night    
Standing in the queue at the Odeon alright   
 Then I took her by surprise    
When I threw her one of my lines    
She started smiling and being real fine    
That's when I say-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay    
 

Can I sit next to you, girl ? Can I sit next to you, girl ?  
Can I sit next to you, girl ? Can I sit next to you, girl ?   
Can I sit next to you, girl ? Can I sit next to you, girl ?  
Can I sit next to you, girl ? 

At intermission we were doing alright    
Until this guy came up and stood by her side    
Then he took ME by surprise  
When HE threw her one of my lines    
She started smiling at him real fine    
That's when he say-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay     

Can I sit next to you, girl ? Can I sit next to you, girl ? 
Can I sit next to you, girl ? Can I sit next to you, girl ?   
Can I sit next to you, girl ? Can I sit next to you, girl ?   
Can I sit next to you, girl ? Can I sit next to you, girl ?
Can I sit next to you, girl ? Can I sit next to you, girl ?
