Subject: Please clarify the lyrics for "Boy meets girl"

Written By: QuickeneR on 11/24/06 at 5:41 pm

Hi folks! I recently heard a cool song and went to find the lyrics for it, but sadly, found none. It is "Boy meets girl" performed by Ruby Murray and Norman Wisdom. So I tried to write it down, the result is below. In a couple of places (look for the question marks and the troubled smilies) I had trouble understanding the words. Can you help me figure what they are singing?

Here is the song http://rapidshare.com/files/783903/boymeetsgirl.mp3.html . Hope it is ok around here to share the mp3. The host will automatically delete it in a while anyway.

Boy meets girl in the moonlight
Just a pair of lonely hearts
Boy meets girl in the moonlight
That's how the trouble starts

Girl meets boy, kind of nervous
With the heart that's beating fast
Girl meets boy, saints preserve us
Am I in love at last?

So it goes
The whole world over
Guess it always will
?????
Then once more the old old story

Boy meets girl moon is yellow
Just the way it ought to be
Lucky girl, lucky fellow
Wish it were you and me

You never will be a lucky little devil you are ?????
I am the country Norman I think you are the lucky one ?????
Mmm.. may be you're right
No I'm the lucky one
Here we go again
And that's how the trouble starts

Boy meets girl
... Ruby it's my turn ?????
No no it's my turn
But it's matching the music for me
No it's matching the music for me
S-
Sorry
Other couples don't argue like we do
Don't they?
No!
Wish it were you and me

The first  ??? sounds like "Jack must have his due". The second sounds like "You know, Ruby, you're a lucky little devil, you are" and the next is "On the contrary, Norman, I think you're the lucky one." The last is "Wait a minute, Ruby, it's my turn."

Sorry for late replying, it seems that anonymous posting has just been disabled.

Thanks for the help, Red Ant, the words really match the sounds. I'm only in doubt about Jack who must have his due - it does not seem to make much sense. Do you have any idea what the first ????? line means to say?

I can't download the file here at work.  Reading the rest of the words Red Ant's suggestion of "Jack must have his due" is probably implying that Jack had his way with the girl
