Lyrics
- Now Stevie Brown said to his lady friend
Let’s take a stroll out through the Park
And as the day was exceedingly fine
They walked around ’till dark
When soon she spied a pretty little bench
He said let’s take a rest my dear
And well the maiden knew just what he meant
When she whispered in his ear
Chorus
I got you Stevie, I got you Steve
I had you the first time I saw your smile
I knew what was on your mind all of the while
I got you Stevie, certainly had you all the time
Now you may think I’m green
But I am over sixteen
That’s why I’m Hep, Hep, Yea-Bo I’m Hep
I got you Steve
- That night when Stevie brought his girl home late
She couldn’t find her front door key
And though she knocked and kept on ringing the bell
The folks slept peacefully
And when she cried oh Steve what shall I do
Then that good natured boy just sighed
Let’s find a parson then come home with me
For an answer she replied
