Lyrics
Ev’ry one who sees you says
“Fascinating face
Heavens what a figure”
And “Goodness me, what grace”
Ev’ry one who meets you must
Lose his heart I find
Then he’s sure to lose his mind
Chorus
You’re as pleasant as the morning
And refreshing as the rain
Isn’t it a pity that
You’re such a Scatter-Brain?
When you smile it’s so delightful
When you talk it’s so insane
Still it’s charming chatter, Scatter-Brain
I know I’ll end up apoplectic
But there’s nothing I can do
It’s just the same as being in a hurricane
And though my life will be too hectic
I’m so much in love with you
Nothing else can matter
You’re my darling Scatter-Brain
Chorus
You’re as gay as New Year parties
You’re as sweet as sugar cane
But when you get serious
You’re such a Scatter-Brain
When we dance I think it’s heaven
Till about the third refrain
Then you start your patter, Scatter-Brain
Perhaps I’m much too analytic
But I’m up the well known tree
I’ve tried to understand
Your double talk in vain
Yet won’t you please forgive your critic
‘Cause you mean so much to me
Nothing else can matter
You’re my darling Scatter-Brain
