   just about  half past          nine.
   al- ways    on  my             mind.
   throwin' kisses and wavin' at  me.  
   has no      great   big        range.
   but it's    not for            mine.

                     Hollerin' from Avalon, could hardly  keep  from       cryin'.
                     Pretty Mamas at Avalon      want me there all the     time.
                     Says   Sweet Daddy,         stay right here  with     me.
                     Pretty Mamas at Avalon      sure will  spend your     change.
                     Goin back to Avalon,        where I have pretty mama all the time.
