I'm just a-sittin' in the balcony
Just a watchin' the movie
Or maybe it's a symphony, I wouldn't know

I don't care about the symphonies
Just the cymbals and the timpanis
Just a-sittin' in the balcony on the very last row

I'll hold your hand and I'll kiss you too
The feature's over, but we're not through

Just a-sittin' the balcony
Holdin' hands in the balcony
Just a-sittin' in the balcony on the very last row

We may stop lovin' to watch Bugs Bunny
But he can't take the place of my honey

Just a-sittin' in the balcony
Just a-smoochin' in the balcony
Just a-sittin' in the balcony on the very last row
Just a-huggin' and a-kissin' my baby on the very last row
