Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
- I told my friends about
Some odds and ends about you
Said you were wonderful
Said you were beautiful, too
They told some friends of theirs
That I was making a bluff
But I realize
I never told ’em half enough
Chorus
In your Sunday dress
Your picture hat
You look so sweet
When you look like that
Just wait and see, you’ll be
The talk of the town
Dimpled chin, a turned up nose
The whole wide world
Will be looking at those
Just wait and see, you’ll be
The talk of the town
Your disposition is marvelous, too
My one ambition is to be like you
And maybe some sweet day
That vow we’ll take
The folks will say
“What a couple they make”
Just wait and see, we’ll be
The talk of the town
- I don’t exaggerate
I first appreciate you
I’ll take no substitute
Tho’ others may be cute, too
You’ve got that something, well
Something that’s everything sweet
I just can’t say more
But what I’ve said I can repeat
