I met her on a Monday and my heart stood still.

   A                   D

Da doo ron ron ron, da doo ron ron ron.

Somebody told me that her name was Jill.

Da doo ron ron ron, da doo ron ron ron

 

D       G                   A        D

Yes, my heart stood still.  Yes, her name was Jill.

D          G                   A                   D

And when I walked her home, da doo ron ron ron, da doo ron ron ron

 

I knew what she was thinkin' when she caught my eye.

Da doo ron ron ron, da doo ron ron ron.

I looked so quiet but my, oh, my!

Da doo ron ron ron, da doo ron ron ron.

 

Yes, she caught my eye.  Yes, but my, oh, my!

And when I walked her home, da doo ron ron ron, da doo ron ron ron

 

Well, I picked her up at seven and she looked so fine.

Da doo ron ron ron, da doo ron ron ron.

Someday soon I'm gonna make her mine.

Da doo ron ron ron, da doo ron ron ron.

 

Yes, she looked so fine.  Yes, I'll make her mine

And when I walked her home, da doo ron ron ron, da doo ron ron ron

Yeah, yeah, yeah!  Da doo ron ron ron, da doo ron ron ron

 

[This song makes a great improv game or stage piece if done as a call & response.  You go around the circle on the rhymes with everyone singing the "Da doo ron ron" parts.  For example:  #1:  "I met him on a Thursday and his name was Jack."  All:  "Da doo..."  #2:  "I noticed that he had acne on his back."  All:  "Da doo..."  #3:  "Yeah, he was in the black."  #4:  "Yeah, because he had the knack."  #5:  "Yeah, at playing hacky sack"  All:  "Da doo..."  If you want an especially evil variation, one person has to come up with the triple rhyme at the end.  If you repeat a rhyming word, make up a rhyming word or really lose the time of the song, the round ends.  You can either expel the person who faltered or just start a new round with new rhymes.  Another evil variation makes each round faster as you go along.  It's a great brain/music game!]
