Cadd9 
I know a shoe salesman 
                        Fadd9 
He's an acquaintance of mine 
Cadd9 
One day he showed me some 
                      Fadd9 
Marks on his arm in a line 
Am                     Dm7 
I did not know what to say 
Am                                 Em7    G 
"Do you think those freckles will stay?" 
 
Cadd9  Cadd9  Fadd9  Fadd9 
 
Cadd9 
I need a popsicle 
                     Fadd9 
Do you want lemon or lime? 
Cadd9 
I've got a special today 
                  Fadd9 
If you've got the time 
Am                           Dm7 
Winking, she poked me in the side 
Am                        Em7    G 
"Well, we could go for a ride" 
 
Cadd9  Cadd9  Fadd9  Fadd9 (x2) 
 
Am                     Dm7 
I did not know what to say 
Am                                 Em7    G 
"Do you think those freckles will stay?" 
 
Cadd9    Fadd9 
           Well, you think she will see, yeah 
Cadd9    Fadd9 
           I don't think she will see, yeah 
Cadd9    Fadd9 
                Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, 
Cadd9 
Yeah!
