You've just gotta be one of the most beautiful people in the whole wide world

Talk about a girl with a sweet desposition you oughta have a room full of ribbons
And wear 'em in the hair every day of the week for me
People turn around they know we're the luckiest people today in this old town
It's no wonder that they kinda wonder if we're not the happiest could around
