Went for a walk on day alone
|
Down around the bay
|
I guess you could say that it was fate
|
How else could I have met my love
|
On the Golden Gate?
|
|
She strolled along the bridge, and she
|
Was the cutest pigeon, gee
|
Did you never palpitate?
|
Well, you'd have swooned to see her there
|
On the Golden Gate
|
|
I looked into her eyes
|
And foggy skies were clear
|
Just when I thought love was here
|
What a switch
|
Along came a Cadillac
|
It stopped and she got in back
|
Alas and alack, she had a date
|
|
I finally found the love I longed for too late
|
I have no gold and got the gate on the Golden Gate
|
|
I hung around to see if she would reappear
|
But no such luck and now it's clear I'm a goner
|
|
Now every day I stroll along
|
Down around the bay
|
I guess I'll simply chalk it up to fate
|
|
And that's what happens to you when you don't rate
|
I had no gold and got the gate on the Golden Gate
|
