[SH]  It happens in May, when I see Kay.

I drop my tray.  I start to sway.

She looks so gay.  Please look my way!

But she’s with… Jay.

I hope and pray he will not stay.

He’ll go away without delay

To Mandalay, to Hudson Bay,

Far Rockaway, or old Bombay.

Unhappy day!  My hair is gray.

My feet are clay.  My name is… Ray.

He did not stay.  He went away.

And he did not pay!
