Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
- I’ve loved most ev’ry kind of maiden
I’ve loved her dimples
Her pretty hair and eyes
My heart with love has been so laden
I’ve acted simple
And told me many lies
Refrain
But just the minute I met you
I know I’d never forget you
You ain’t got no pretty mug
There ain’t nothing much of you for me to hug
Yet I cannot do without you
There’s something about you
It ain’t the smile ‘neath your nose, dear
It ain’t your dainty dresses
It ain’t your sweet caresses
It’s your jazzing little toes
- I, sir, am just a pure sweet flower
From girlhood’s garden
Am blooming just for you
Why, sir, I may be plucked this hour
I beg your pardon
But I am stuck on you
