Down by the station early in the morning Met a little girl about as cute as she could be I turned on my charms and told her that I loved her I said that she would always be the number one for me She'd always be my number one girl I said there'd be no number two or three
Down by the malt shop shortly thereafter Met another girl about as cute as she could be I looked for number one and when I didn't see her I told number two she was the only girl for me
Went to the drug store and nearly lost my life There I saw my little girlfriends, one and two Standing there together, I knew I was in trouble But I'm a clever fellow, I knew what to do
I went on down by the station early in the morning I was through with women as cute as they could be But then I saw another girl lookin' kinda pretty Said I'm through with one, two I love you, number three
I said I love you number three And here's what she said to me Just head on down by the station early in the morning Catch yourself a trolley car that goes into the sea I want a love that's true, sir, not a love like you, sir You weren't true to one and two You won't be true to me
Down by the station early in the morning See the little puffer-bellies all in a row See the station master pull the little handle Chug, chug, toot, toot, off they go
