3. Red‑Headed Restaurant Cashier  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: English 
Shake back your hair, O red-headed girl.
Let go your laughter and keep your two proud freckles on your chin.
Somewhere is a man looking for a red-headed girl and some day maybe he
will look into your eyes for a restaurant cashier and find a lover, maybe.	
Around and around go ten thousand men hunting a red headed girl with two 
freckles on her chin.
I have seen them hunting, hunting.
  Shake back your hair; let go your laughter.
