Lyrics
Chorus
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 lovliest girl that one could see
And when I tell them
And I certn’ly 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
Chorus
And when I told them
How wonderful you are
They didn’t believe me
They didn’t believe me
Your lips, your eyes, your curly hair
Are in a class beyond compare
You’re the lovliest thing that one could see
And when I tell them
And I certn’ly am goin’ to tell them
That I’m the girl whose boy 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
