[Verse]
- (She) Have you ever really tried to concentrate?
- (He) I don't know the meaning of the word;
- (She) Then when you think you love a girl you hesitate?
- (He) Not too long, for that would be absurd!
- I know that when I'm ninety, with a long grey beard,
- I'll still be making up my mind.
- (She) Procrastination is a habit to be feared,
- You will always find.
[Refrain]
- (She) Some of the time you think you love a brunette
- (He) I know the kind who had a Spanish mother!
- (She) Some of the time you love a blond.
- (He) Who came from Eden, by way of Sweden!
- (She) And sometimes they're short, or they may be tall!
- (He) They may pass by And sometimes they fall!
- (Both) But you love some sort of somebody
- All of the time.
[Verse]
- (He) I have travelled all around this world of ours
- (She) I don't doubt that you've been going some.
- (He) And I have sipped the honey from the rarest flow'rs!
- (She) You have sent the flow'rs and sipped the rum!
- (He) In ev'ry foreign country I have met my fate.
- I've met her so much, I am tired!
- (She) Can you remain quite neutral and to me relate,
- Which you most admire.
[Refrain]
- (He) Some of the time I loved a girl from Berlin
- (She) Sie war so schöen und lustig und so weiter![1]
- (He) Some of the time she came from Spain.
- (She) Your heart was full, oh! Of throw the Bull oh!
- (He) And Italian girls, And French I adore!
- (She) Now then we know Who started the war!
- (Both) But you[2] love some sort of somebody
- All of the time.
