Excuse me Mrs. police operator? This is a 9-1-1.
I need you to retrieve me the name of that girl out on the run
She was just walking through town down on Main Street
The prettiest girl that I never did meet
She had dirty-blonde hair and ice-blue eyes
Just walking along the curb
For 15 minutes non-stop, you know my heart dropped
And I couldn't say one word.
I knew when I saw her I'd never forget
She gonna be my baby she just don't know it yet.
She'll be my sidewalk queen. Where was she last seen?
I don't know because she's oh-so far away.
Though my feet are hurting, I'll keep on searching
And I will find her if it takes me all night and a thousand days.
Excuse me Mr. President? I'm begging you my pardon
But could you get all your G-Men and help find my woman
She's my only darling.
You could sign a bill or do whatever you will
But do it fast 'cause I won't rest until...
I find my sidewalk queen. Where was she last seen?
I don't know because she's oh-so far away.
Though my feet are hurting, I know for certain
That I will find her if it takes me all night and a thousand days.
How many times have I been told to quit acting like a fool?
"You ain't no detective, why don't you call it quits?"
But if you had seen just what I saw, you wouldn't act so cool.
You would know why I could never give up on this. No!
After searching one thousand days... After looking all over the place...
I found my baby. You know where she'd been? She was home all along
And she was looking for me.
Now she's my sidewalk queen. Where was she last seen?
I'll never know but she won't ever go far away
Though my feet are hurting, I kept on searching.
And I found her though it took me all night and a thousand and one days.
