Under the Tiny Bridge - lyrics

I followed my gal
To Amsterdam
We took a cruise
Through Amsterdam
It’s the way to see
True Amsterdam
Where Vincent Van Gogh
Drew Amsterdam

The cruise began
In three dialects
The guide informed us
Of what would be next

Anne Frank’s House
Was on the right
We imagined her hiding
Day and night

The Tiny Bridge loomed ahead
I asked if we’d go through
But sir, shall I ruin
The end of the tour for you?

I followed my gal
To Amsterdam
We took a cruise
Through Amsterdam
It’s the way to see
True Amsterdam
Where Vincent Van Gogh
Drew Amsterdam

The rest of the cruise
Was only a blur
I knew now
Where I’d propose to her

Then finally
Up ahead
The bridge appeared
And the guide said

Lovers who kiss
Under the bridge
Will share their lives
In a happy marriage

I followed my gal
To Amsterdam
We took a cruise
Through Amsterdam
It’s the way to see
True Amsterdam
Where Vincent Van Gogh
Drew Amsterdam

We pulled under the bridge
I got down on a knee
I pulled out the ring
For her to see

I asked her
Will you marry me
And she asked
Are you for real?
I held her hand
Close to my heart
And I kissed her
To seal the deal

I followed my gal
To Amsterdam
We took a cruise
Through Amsterdam
It’s the way to see
True Amsterdam
Where Vincent Van Gogh
Drew Amsterdam
