A 1928 popular song
words and music by Walter Donaldson and Gus Kahn
The sheet music:
Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
I don’t want to brag or boast
But I am going with the
Most attractive member of her lovely sex
When we’re out no matter where
You ought to see the fellows stare
I’m happy even when I pay the checks
Chorus
She’s got cheeks just like a rose
And a little turned up nose
And a dozen other beaux
She’s wonderful
Every time we have a date
She’s eleven hours late
But I love to stand and wait
She’s wonderful
Her father’s wealthy, which makes me glad
But he’s so healthy, it makes me sad
And whatever may occur
She’s for me and I’m for her
She’s what gentlemen prefer
She’s wonderful
Chorus
She is proper you can bet
She’s a “bear” on etiquette
She says I’ve already “et”
She’s wonderful
She’s a hit in any crowd
In a picture show I’m proud
She reads titles right out loud
She’s wonderful
She has a brother you’d love to know
We call each other, “You so-and-so”
We’ll be happy when we’re wed
Though I’ve often heard it said
She eats cracker-jack in bed
She’s wonderful
