The sheet music:
Lyrics
I’ve never really told you
How much I cared for you
It’s really most distressing
The way you keep me guessing
I wrote a song about you
It doesn’t sound so “worse”
I’ll have the song all finished
When I write the verse
I made it up from my own head
And had some rhymes to spare
Please listen to the chorus
It has a catchy air
Refrain:
Libby, you’re the girl for me
Libby, suit me to a “T”
You are so sweet, cute and petite
You are so pet-a-ble, you’re unforgetable
Libby, when you look at me
Don’t blame me for anything I do
You’re a peach-a-rin-o
You know just what I “mean-o”
And I’m simply wild about you
