He started a company
   When he was a young man
   handsome, and like a reed so tall
   With a face like an old photograph
   She would fall for him
   Fall for him
   She would fall
  
   She wore her mother’s cocktail dress
   With saddle shoes
   She was pretty and she was small
   She worked the switchboard
   Down the hall from him
   Down the hall
  
   Chorus:
   He said: “Hello little woman”
   She said: “Hello big man”
   And that was how the wooing
   And the winning began
   He said: “Hello little woman”
   She said: “Hello big man”
  
   Of course New York in those days
   Was carriage rides and matinees
   He took her to a ball
   At the Waldorf Astoria
   He would fall for her
   Fall for her, he would fall
  
   Chorus
  
   You could hear them laugh
   As they danced in their room
   And the shadows on the avenue
   Rose into a jealous moon
   Which swung low in the dawn like
   To see what was going on with those two
  
   you keep on expecting
   Something to go wrong
   And nothing does
   They still live in the house
   Where we were born
   Pictures of us kids
   Hanging up all over the walls
  
   And some say he built his empire
   For wealth and toil
   But, if you ask him why
   He’ll say he did it all for her
   All for her
   All for her
  
   Chorus
