Lyrics
- Hello, hello, hello, just look who’s here
Hello, hello, hello, oh dear oh dear
It seems to me that I’ve met you before
I know, I know, I know it must be you
I plainly recognize those eyes of blue
If I’m mistaken, honey don’t get sore
Chorus
Pardon me pretty baby
Is it yes, is it no, is it maybe?
Pardon me, pretty baby
Don’t I look familiar to you?
Aw come on, get acquainted
There’s a bench in the park newly painted
Great idea, honey ain’t it,
Well at least it’s something to do.
Was it summer when I met you.
Was it underneath the moon?
Was it London, were we golfing?
How could you forget so soon.
By the way, how’s your mother,
And your dad and your sis and your brother?
Pardon me, who’s another,
Don’t I look familiar to you?
- Oh, listen listen here, it’s me again
Oh, listen listen dear, how have you been
Now Please don’t think that I’m the kind who’d flirt
I’m positive we’ve met ‘mid other scenes
And tho you may insist, ’twas in my dreams
A little chat together wouldn’t hurt
Chorus
Pardon me pretty baby
Is it yes, is it no, is it maybe?
Pardon me, pretty baby
Don’t I look familiar to you?
‘Pon my word, lovely weather
I can see that we’re birds of a feather
And we should get together
If there’s nothing better to do
You remember, Monte Carlo
Where we kissed and kissed again
I’m mistaken? You don’t travel?
Must have been two others then
Goodness sakes, why it’s raining
I could go for some home entertaining
Pardon me, no explaining
Don’t I look familiar to you?
