Lyrics
Did you ever feel something funny steal
'Round your heart and down your spine
Made you say, "The world is mine"
Then you've been in love
Just a turtle dove
I'll admit I've been hit
Billie is the cause of it, Oh
Chorus:
Billie, though I've been from Maine to Piccadilly
I've found no one like you
(None so pretty, nor as witty)
Billie, though some folks may think I'm rather silly
Let me have your answer, please do
My only mission is to keep wishin'
For your permission
To possess (surely you can guess)
Billie, I'm all through with May and Ruth and Lilly
Billie, please answer yes
