  *++Lyrics:|\\
Two hours ride old Broadway\\
There is a sleepy town, they say;\\
"Old Philadelphia",\\
You opened my eyes And I apologize.\\
\\
//chorus: //\\
There's a quaker down in Quaker town,\\
When I am around she sighs\\
But down in her heart, I know,\\
She's not so slow,\\
For oh, oh, oh, oh! Those eyes!\\
Like the waters still she's very deep\\
She knows a heap, I found,\\
She has that "Meet me later" look,\\
And oh, she knows her book,\\
This little Quaker down in Quaker town.\\
\\
Old William Penn, please pardon me,\\
One of your sons I want to be\\
You love your quakers,\\
And I love one too\\
That's why I'm strong for you.\\
\\
