3   4      4   -4    5   
I walked down the street

-4   4  -4   -3    3
like a good girl should.

3  -4  -4   -4  -4  -4   -4    
He followed me down the street

 5  -5  5    4   4
like I knew he would.

refrain:

 6  6   6  4  4 -4  5   4-4 5  -4  -3  3   3
Because a guy is a guy wherever he may be, so

-4 -4  -4  -4   -4    5     
Listen and I'll tell you

what this fellow did to me.

Chorus

4 -5 6  -6   -5   6   5 4   
I never saw this boy before

 4  -5 6    -6  -5  5 -5 6
so nothing could be sillier.

-5 -5 6    -6   -5    5  -5     6
At closer range his face was strange, 

 4  5   -4 -4  -4  4-3-4 3
But his manner was familiar.

verse 3

So, I walked up the stairs like a good girl should.
he followed me up the stairs like I knew he would.

I stopped at my door like a good girl should.
He stopped at my door like I knew he would

He asked me for a goodnight kiss,
I said it was still good day.
I would have told him more, except
His lips got in the way

So I talked to my ma like a good girl should.
And Ma talked to Pa like I knew she would

And they all agreed on a married life for me.
The guy is a guy, wherever he may be.

verse 6

So, I walked down the aisle like a good girl should.
He followed me down the aisle like I knew he would.

-4  -4   -4     -4   -4  -4 5  
And now you've heard the story

-4  -4  -5    5  4  -4  -3 4
of what that fellow did to me.

 6       5  4   3 -4  4
That's what he did to me.
