Lyrics
1. Now listen, let me tell you
I’ve got a sweetheart kind and true
Just as sweet to me as he can be
And ranks in best society
His tantalizing ways supreme
His eyes throw you into a dream
His teeth look just like foreign pearls
He looks so good to all the girls, cause
Refrain:
Everything he does just pleases me
He certainly suits my taste just to a “T”
His actions and his walk, and his everyday talk
I love him, going crazy, cause he’s my baby
He does everything that a man can do
To keep his honey baby from feeling blue
There’ll never come a time when we’ll part, you see
‘Cause everything he does just pleases me
Yes, everything he does just pleases me
2. On Sunday eve he comes to call
Dressed up just like a little doll
Then he calls me sweet names, holds my hand
He’s the finest child in all the land
He plays piano, sings to me
Sweet tenor voice makes natural B
Before he goes, fills me with bliss
Says, “goodnight love,” then one sweet kiss, cause
