Lyrics
- Who’s that raving about his pet?
Kindly get off the line
If you’re through
Let me say a word or two
Boy, you haven’t seen nothin’ yet
Wait until you see mine
You’ll soon enough find out
Just why I rave about
Chorus
My pet, How I love her
My pet, speaking of her
Say, I bet there’s nobody like my pet
Why pet with another?
My pet pets no other
And I pet with nobody but my pet
She’s so refined, sweet and kind Perfect gem!
Has she got “it”? Lot’s of “it?”
Oh, baby! She’s got “them”
My pet told me cutely
I’m set absolutely
So I pet with nobody but my pet
- I don’t know enough fancy words
To tell you how she looks
Gosh! Oh, gee!
She’s a gal you’ve got to see
I wish I were one of those birds
Who write those “po’try” books
I’d wear my pencils out
Just writin’ “po’ms” about
