[Verse]
- Got the cutest little way,
- Like to watch you all the day.
- And it certainly seems fine,
- Just to think that you'll be mine.
- When I see your pretty smile,
- Makes the living worth the while,
- So I've got to run around,
- Telling people what I've found.
[Refrain]
- And when I told them how beautiful you are,
- They didn't believe me!
- They didn't believe me!
- You lips, your eyes, your cheeks, your hair
- Are in a class beyond compare,
- You're the lovliest thing that one could see!
- And when I tell them,
- And I certn'ly am goin' to tell them,[1]
- That I'm the man whose wife one day you'll be,
- They'll never believe me,
- They'll never believe me,
- That from this great big world you've chosen me!
[Verse]
- Don't know how it happen'd quite,
- May have been the summer night,
- May have been, well, who can say!
- Things just happen any way.
- All I know is I said "Yes!"
- Hesitating more or less,
- And you kissed me where I stood,
- Just like any fellow would.
Notes[edit]
- ↑ The melody line has a triplet on "I certn'ly", forcing the singer to sing the word "certn'ly" as two syllables. This line is commonly changed to "And I'm certainly goin' to tell them".
