Lyrics
- I’ve got a lot of pretty diamond rings
I’ve got a lot of other pretty things
I’ve got a mortgage on a man’s affections
That’s the reason why I
Don’t have to worry if it rains or snows
I’m always well supplied with pretty clothes
I’m so extremely happy, goodness knows!
Night and day I cry
Chorus:
That man, that man, he’s so good to me
He’s got a great big heart, like a Christmas tree
That man, that man, he’s all sympathy
Night and day I’m thinking of him
And I’ve got to say
He made me love him
‘Cause he’s Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, so good to me!
- He comes around to see me when I’m sad
He sends me flowers when I’m feeling bad
You bet he’s better than a million doctors
When he’s holding my hand, and
He’s got a lovin’ way that’s all his own
He’s got a lovin’ kiss that reaches home
He’s goodness, from his tootsies to his dome
Oh, oh, oh, so grand
