Got the cut-est lit-tle way, Like to watch you all the day, And it cer-tain-ly seems fine Just to think that you'll be mine.
When I see your pret-ty smile Makes the liv-ing worth the while, So I've got to run a-round Tell-ing peo-ple what I've found.
And when I told them How beau-ti-ful you are They did-n't be-lieve me! They did-n't be-lieve me!
Your lips, your eyes, your cheeks, Your hair are in a class be-yond com-pare, You're the lov-li-est girl that one could see!
And when I tell them, And I cert-n'ly am goin' to tell them, That I'm the man whose wife one day you'll be. They'll nev-er be-lieve me, They'll nev-er be-lieve me, That from this great big world You've cho-sen me!
Don't know how it hap-pen'd quite, May have been the sum-mer night, May have been, well, who can say! Things just hap-pen an-y way.
All I know is I said "Yes!" Hes-i-tat-ing more or less, And you kissed me where I stood, Just like an-y fel-low would.
And when I told them how won-der-ful you are They did-n't be-lieve me! They did-n't be-lieve me! Your lips, your eyes, your cur-ly hair Are in a class be-yond com-pare, You're the lov-li-est thing that one could see!
And when I tell them, And I cert-n'ly am goin' to tell them, That I'm the girl whose boy one day you'll be,
They'll nev-er be-lieve me, They'll nev-er be-lieve me, That from this great big world You've cho-sen me!
