[Verse 1]
I met this girl for the first time at Saturday night
Standin' in the queue at the Odeon, alright

[Pre-Chorus]
Then I took her by surprise
When I threw her one of my lines
She started smilin' at me real fine
And that's when I say-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay

[Chorus]
"Can I sit next to you, girl?
Can I sit next to you, girl?
Can I sit next to you, girl?
Can I sit next to you, girl?
Can I sit next to you, girl?"

[Verse 2]
An intermission, we were doin' alright
Until this guy came up and stood by her side

[Pre-Chorus]
Then he took me by surprise
When he threw her one of my lines
She started smilin' at him real fine
And that's when he say-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay
[Chorus]
"Can I sit next to you, girl?
Can I sit next to you, girl?
Can I sit next to you, girl?
Can I sit next to you, girl?
Can I sit next to you, girl?"

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
Can I sit next to you, girl?
Can I sit next to you, girl?
Can I sit next to you, girl? (Can I sit next, can I sit next)
Can I sit next to you, girl? (Can I sit next, can I sit next)
Can I sit next to you, girl? (Can I sit next, can I sit next)
Can I sit next to you, girl? (Can I sit next, can I sit next)
Can I sit next to you, girl? (Can I sit next, can I sit next)

[Chorus]
Can I sit next to you, girl?
Can I sit next to you, girl?
Can I sit next to you, girl?
Can I sit next to you, girl?
Can I sit next to you, girl?
Can I sit next to you, girl?
Can I sit next to you, girl?
Can I sit next to you, girl?
Can I sit next to you, girl?
Can I sit next to you, girl?
Can I sit next to you, girl?
