Lyrics
- Everybody, everybody listen to me
I’m a silly daffy dilly, that you can see
I just met the girl, can’t forget the girl
She’s a cutey, tutti frutti, beautiful pearl
Carling creature every feature you understand
Eyes and nose and class and clothes
And everything grand
Take her all in all, I just had to fall
Strike up that beautiful band
Chorus
I love her, Oh! oh! oh!
And could I live without her, No! no! no!
There’s something nice about her
You ought to see, you ought to see
Every move she makes is like a picture to me
I love her, Oh! oh! oh!
And could I love another, No! no! no!
I’d leave my home and mother
I want to fly, don’t ask me why
I love her, Oh! oh! oh!
- Oh the baby darling baby
If she but knew
How I’d like to how I’d like to
Prove what I’d do
Words cannot express
You can only guess
All my life without a wife
If she don’t say yes
House and lot a spot I’ve got
It’s down on the shore
Take it all it’s very small
I should give her more
Wonder what she’d do
If she only knew
All night I’m walking the floor
Chorus
I love her, Oh! oh! oh!
And could I live without her, No! no! no!
There’s something nice about her
You ought to see, you ought to see
Every move she makes is like a picture to me
I love her, Oh! oh! oh!
And could I love another, No! no! no!
I’d leave my home and mother
Her lovely form took me by storm
I love her, Oh! oh! oh!
