Lyrics
Please forgive this platitude
But I like your attitude
You are just the kind I’ve had in mind
Never could find
Honey, I’m so keen on you
I could come to lean on you
Honor and obey, give you your way
Do what you say
Refrain
Gee, it’s all fine and dandy
Sugar Candy, when I’ve got you
Then I only see the sunny side
Even trouble has it’s funny side
When you’re gone, Sugar Candy
I get so lonesome, I get so blue
When you’re handy it’s fine and dandy
But when you’re gone what can I do?
Refrain
Sev’n o-clock! you be Andy
I’ll be Andy, and who are you?
I’ll be Amos, which you ought to know
I don’t listen on the radio
Just the same, you be Andy
Fine and dandy, what do I do?
Just be handy to Amos, Andy
Check and double check to you
Refrain
Now we’re in Paris, you be Josephine
I’ll be Josephine, and who are you?
I’m Napoleon, you call me “Nap”
You will make me feel an awful sap
Just the same you be Josephine
I’ll be Josephine, what do I do?
Share my empore and be my vempire
But only till your Waterloo
Refrain
Now we’re in the Stadium, you be Schmeling
I’ll be Schmeling, and who are you?
I’ll be Sharkey and I’ll hit you foul
If you do there’ll be an awful howl
Just the same you be Schmeling
I’ll be Schmeling, what do I do?
Clutch your vitals and claim six titles
And take the boodle home with you
