Lyrics
- I’ve been looking everywhere for someone
Like a Gay Lothario of old
Seems to me that I have found that someone
Kindly pardon me if I seem bold
Chorus
You’re the one
You beautiful son-of-a-gun
Oh, you’re the one for me
In disguise, the devil is dancing
There in your eyes
And still you’re heavenly
I’ll be durned
How come that I never have learned
That gals like you run around free
Oh, you’re the one
You beautiful son-of-a-gun
Say, you’re the one for me
- I’ve been searching high and low for someone
With a personality like yours
I made up my mind I’d find you somewhere
Even if I had to try Cook’s Tours
