It's twelve-thirty-five by the clock up in the steeple 'cross the street It's twelve-thirty-five and my roommate should be in her bed asleep I got her a date with him For her to see how well I rate with him She was s'posed to find out if He cares for me But gee-ma-nee It's twelve-thirty-five, she promised me that she'd be in by ten It's twelve-thirty-five, I wonder what she's findin' out from him She said she would try to see If he really cares for me She wouldn't let him hold her close She promised me But gee-ma-nee It's twelve-thirty-five and ten o'clock was over hours ago It's twelve-thirty-five and though it hurts to face the truth I know He hasn't mentioned me And I know that neither has she 'Cause it's twelve-thirty-five and I am here at home all alone
