| As soon as I have saved a little nest egg
|
| I hope to ask you, dear, will you be mine?
|
| The lovers you have had say, you’re the best egg
|
| They repeat, you’re completely divine
|
| I’ve heard of Pompadour and Cleopatra
|
| But you are better than the two combined
|
| How can it be you fancy me, is it that love is blind?
|
| I’m about the luckiest man in the world
|
| To have a girl like you, I’m told by Fritz and Peter
|
| Your lips would not be sweeter
|
| Oh, you must be a marvelous thing to delight
|
| The many men you do, the secrets they can find
|
| Have made me swell with pride
|
| We shall move to larger quarters
|
| To make your boyfriends feel at home
|
| Your iceman and your cops and porters
|
| Would fill the hippodrome
|
| Oh, I’m about the luckiest man in the world
|
| To have a girl like you
|
| I’m very lucky to have a little girl like you
|
| I’m about the luckiest man in the world
|
| To have a girl like you
|
| I’m proud because I can’t see
|
| Yet struck the nations fancy
|
| Oh, you must have a marvelous gift to receive
|
| The many gifts you do with same old clothes
|
| And things each time the doorbell rings
|
| I have heard from Jack, the plumber
|
| A gentleman you may recall
|
| When you were through with him last summer
|
| He couldn’t plumb at all
|
| Oh, I’m about the luckiest man in the world
|
| To have a girl like you, a little girl like you |
