REFRAIN:
It’s the wrong time and the wrong place
Tho’ your face is charming, it’s the wrong face,
It’s not her face but a charming face
That it’s all right with me.
It’s the wrong song in the wrong style
Tho’ your smile is lovely, it’s the wrong smile,
It’s no her smile but such a lovely smimle
That it’s all right with me.
You can’t know how happy
I am that we met,
I’m strangely attracted to you.
There’s someone I’m trying so hard to forget,
Don’t you want to forget someone too?
It’s the wrong game with the wrong chips,
Tho’ your lips are tempting, they’re the wrong lips,
They’re not her lips, but they’re tempting lips
That if some night you’re free
Dear, it’s all right,
It’s all right with me.
