Lyrics
I’ve got a beau so very slow
Gee, but he makes me cross
My Romeo don’t seem to know
That he is a total loss
He has lips that I adore
But he don’t know what they’re for
Chorus:
He’s just as handsome as could be
But he doesn’t know what it’s all about
He let’s me sit upon his knee
But he doesn’t know what it’s all about
He’s got the face and form of Apollo
The kind of man the women all follow
But when I pucker up my lips and pout
He doesn’t know what it’s all about
He comes around and holds my hand
But he doesn’t know what it’s all about
I’ve tried to make him understand
But he doesn’t know what it’s all about
Chorus:
I plan to see him all alone
But he doesn’t know what it’s all about
I disconnect my telephone
But he doesn’t know what it’s all about
He comes around at night and he’s handsome
But if you ever looked through the transom
It wouldn’t take you long to figure out
He doesn’t know what it’s all about
He site with me ’till break of dawn
But he doesn’t know what it’s all about
I stretch my arms and start to yawn
But he doesn’t know what it’s all about
