Lyrics
We belong to a mutual admiration society
My baby and me
We belong to a mutual admiration society
She thinks I’m handsome and I’m smart
I think that she’s a work of art
She says that I’m the greatest man
And likewise, I’m her biggest fan
I say her kisses are like wine
She says they’re not as good as mine
And that’s the way we pass the time of day
My baby and me
Oh we belong to a mutual admiration society
We belong to a mutual admiration society
My baby and me
We belong to a mutual admiration society
She says, “Oh, you’re the sweetest one”
I say, “No, you’re the sweetest one”
She claims that I’m a nat’ral wit
I say it’s just the opposite
the only fightin’ that we do
Is just who loves who more than who
And we go on like that from night ’til dawn
My baby and me
Oh we belong to a mutual admiration society
Now I do not exaggerate
I think she’s nothin’ short of great
She says, “That kind of flattery
Will get you any place with me”
The way we carry on, it tends
To just embarrass all our friends
And that is how we’ll still be years from now
My baby and me
Oh we belong to a mutual admiration society
My baby and me
