Lyrics
1. Pretty little Annabelle
Liked a lot of beaus
And her sweetie Johnny Brown
Wanted her to settle down
How he coaxed sweet Annabelle
Goodness only knows
She’d say “yes,” then she’d say “no”
Each time he’d propose
Chorus
Oh! Annabelle, Oh! Annabelle
You’ve made a wild man out of me
‘Cause ev’ry day in ev’ry way
You get me jealous as can be
There’s just one thing worries me, dear
You’ve got six engagement rings, I hear
I’ve got a Ford, I’ve got a flat
There’s only one more payment due
I’ve got a dog, I’ve got a cat
And honey, all I need is you
I won’t even fret or fuss
If your mother lives with us
Oh! Annabelle, Oh! Annabelle
When will the bells ding dong for me?
2. Pretty little Annabelle
Tried to make him blue
Sent him to her family
Said “Give them your pedigree”
He came back to Annabelle
Said “I’m glad it’s thru”
They’re all satisfied with me
Now it’s up to you
