You’re walking along the street,
 Or you’re at a party,
 Or else you’re alone an
 Then you suddenly dig;
 You’re looking in someone’s eyes,
 You suddenly realize
 That this could be the start of something big!

You’re lunching at “Twenty one”
 And watching your diet,
 Declining a [bad word] 
 Accepting a fig;
 When out of a clear blue sky,
 It’s suddenly gal and guy,
 And this could be the start of something big!

Theres’s no controlling
 The unrolling
 Of your fate, my friend,
 Who knows what’s written in the magic book?
 But when a lover
 you discover
 at the gate, my friend,
 Invite her in whithout a second look!

You’re up in an aeroplane,
 Or dining at Sardi’s
 Or lying at Malibu,
 Alone on the sand;
 You suddenly hear a bell
 And right away you can tell
 That this could be the start of something grand.

You’re doin’ your [bad word] tax
 Or buyin’ a [bad word] 
 Or hurryin’ home because
 The hour is late;
 Then suddenly there you go,
 The very next thing you know,
 Is this could be the start of something great!

You’re havin’ a snowball fight
 Or pickin’ up daisies.
 You’re singin’ a happy tune,
 Or knockin’ on wood;
 When all of a sudden you
 Look up and there’s someone new,
 Oh, this could be the start of something good!

Your destined lover
 You’ll discover in a fright’ning flash,
 So keep your heart awake
 Both night and day,
 Because the meeting
 may be fleeting as a lightning flash
 and you don’t want to let it slip away!

You’re watching the [bad word] up,
 Or counting your money
 Or else in a dim cafe,
 You’re ordering wine;
 Then suddenly there she is,
 You want to be where she is,
 And this must be a part of something,
 This could be the heart of something,
 This could be the start of something fine!
