Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
Of all the girls I’ve known, and I’ve known some
Until I first met you I was lonesome
And when you came in sight, dear, my heart grew light
And this old world seemed new to me
You’re really swell I have to admit, you
Deserve expressions that really fit you
And so I’ve racked my brain, hoping to explain
All the things that you do to me
REFRAIN
Bei mir bist du schön, please let me explain
“Bei mir bist du schön” means that you’re grand
Bei mir bist du schön, again I’ll explain
It means you’re the fairest in the land
I could say “Bella, Bella”, even say “Voon-der-bar”
Each language only helps me tell you how grand you are
I’ve tried to explain “Bei mir bist du schön”
So, kiss me and say you understand
