[A7]Will he kiss her [D]under the [B]nose?
[E7]Or underneath the archway where the [A7]sweet william grows


[D]May he fall, [F#7]feel a wreck
And [G]stagger home with [E7]half the trellis[A7]work round his neck
[D]I wonder who’s under her [B]balcony now
[E7]Who’s [A7]kissing my [D]girl?


[D]I wonder who’s under her balcony now
[E7]Who’s kissing my girl?
[A7]Will he kiss her [D]under the [B]nose?
[E7]Or underneath the archway where the [A7]sweet william grows


[D]I hope he [F#7]catches the lot
[G]When she empties [E7]out her old [A7]geranium pot
[D]I wonder who’s under her [B]balcony now
[E7]Who’s [A7]kissing my [D]girl?
