And when I told them how beautiful you are,
They didn't believe me. They didn't believe me!
Your lips, your eyes, your curly hair,
Are in a class beyond compare,
You're the loviest girl that one could see!
And when I tell them,
And I cert'nly am goin' to tell them,
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!
And when I told them just how beautiful you are,
They didn't believe me. No, They didn't believe me!
Your lips, your eyes, your curly hair,
Are in a class beyond compare,
You're the lovliest thing that one could see!
And when I tell them,
And I cert'nly goin' to tell them,
That I'm the man whose wife one day you'll be.
They will never believe me. No, they'll never believe me.
That from this great big world you've chosen me!
It's so easy to see
That I'm the lucky guy who will surely get you by & by.
