I've been carrying a torch so long I look like the Statue of Liberty! My friends say it's so And perhaps they ought to know!
They tell me I ought to get around To give romance another play So I've arranged a date this evening And I'm on my way
I'm stepping out with a memory tonight To paint the town the way we used to do I'll dine at the old cafe where we had so much fun And order cocktails for two instead of the usual one
Then, after dark In a Hansom through the park While reminiscin' I'll be kissin' you A lot of folks may think I'm crazy Well maybe they're right But I'm steppin' out with a memory tonight
