And I heard her say, "Please, don't you go away"
So I held her in my arms and told her of her many charms, I
Kissed her while the bagpipe played The Bonaparte′s Retreat (Bagpipe)

All the world was bright as I held her on that night
And I heard her say, "Please, don't you go away"
So I held her in my arms and told her of her many charms, I
Kissed her while everybody played The Bonaparte′s Retreat (Everybody)

Yes, I held her in my arms and told her of her many charms, I

Kissed her while everybody's playin′
