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
The most beautiful girl one could see
And when I tell them, and I'm certainly going to tell them
That I'm the man whose girl 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

And when I tell them, and I'm certainly going to tell them
That I'm the man whose girl 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
