V1
I met a lad handsome and witty who whispered to me you are so pretty.
Soon he and I were cabaretting, we had a good time, goes without saying.
He came to my house all the lights were low.
And then he held me close, set my heart a glow.
He told me that my lips were as sweet as wine,
With that he put hiss two lips so close to mine and talked of
Chorus 1

V2. I was so mad I got to thinking surely this lad will start me drinking,
For there was me, eager and healthy,
In love with a he, handsome and wealthy,
I tried to get him in my sweet embrace.
All he had on his mind was the pennant race,
And though I saw him practic’lly ev’ry night,
We never went to the movies or saw a fight.
We just saw

V3
My heart knew such humiliatin', that I sat and planned retaliation
Using the wiles known to all women, I’d marry that man if it was human.
The wedding bells rang we were one in June.
Triumphantly we went on our honeymoon.
He held me very tight under stars so bright,
And whispered, “Darling who do you love tonight?”
I told him

Final chorus
