and when i told them how beautiful you are
they didn't believe me. they didn't believe me. your lips
your eyes
your cheeks
your 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!
