Lyrics
You’ve heard of Venus and Cleopatra
Here comes the Queen of them all
I see you’re dazzled, that you’re bewildered
And you’re beginning to fall
Chorus
You’re telling me
That she’s got lots o’ looks
Has she got lots o’ looks?
You’re telling me
You’re telling me
That she has class and clothes
Has she got these and those?
You’re telling me
Is she a beauty? A nifty dresser?
A little Cutie? Did you say “yes, sir?”
You’re telling me
That she’s got loads o’ charms
That fit right in your arms
You’re telling me
Chorus
You’re telling me
Her smile is dynamite
Who’s got the copyright?
You’re telling me
You’re telling me
That she’s got fancy curves
Do they affect your nerves?
You’re telling me
She plays piano and ukulele
She sings soprano and “ay-lee, ay-lee”
You’re telling me
That she can love and pet
You ain’t heard nothin’ yet
You’re telling me
