Lyrics
You can’t be much surprised to hear
I think you’re sweller than swell
But granting all your virtues, Dear
You’ve certain feelings as well
You don’t sing enough
You don’t dance enough
You don’t drink
The great wines of France enough
You’re not wild enough
You’re not gay enough
You don’t let me lead you astray enough
You don’t live enough
You don’t dare enough
You don’t give enough
You don’t care enough
You don’t make my sad life sunny enough
Yet, sweetheart, funny enough
Refrain
I’ve got you on my mind
Although I’m disinclined
You’re not so hot, you
But I’ve got you on my mind
I’d thank the gods above
If I could only love
Somebody not you
But I’ve got you on my mind
Let my poor upset leisure be
Otherwise my pet treasure be
And arrange to let pleasure be
A bit less refined.
For, darling, not until
I get that famous thrill
Will I be resigned
I’ve got you on my mind
