Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Well, see her walking down that street
Yes, I ask you very confidentially
Ain't she sweet?
Oh, ain't she nice?
Well, look her over once or twice
Yes, I ask you very confidentially
Ain't she nice?
Just cast an eye
In her direction
Oh me oh my
Ain't that perfection?
Oh, I repeat
Well, don't you think that's kind of neat?
Yes, I ask you very confidentially
Ain't she sweet?
Oh, ain't she sweet?
Well, see her walking down that street
Well, I ask you very confidentially
Ain't she sweet?
Oh, ain't that nice?
Well, look it over once or twice
Yes, I ask you very confidentially
Ain't she nice?
Just cast an eye
In her direction
Oh me oh my
Ain't that perfection?
Oh, I repeat
