The Most Beautiful Girl in the World
John T. Williams Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Eats my candy, drinks my brandy
The most beautiful girl in the world
The most beautiful star in the world
Isn't Garbo, isn't Dietrich but the sweet trick
Who can make me believe it's a beautiful world
Natural kind of wit
She'd shine anywhere
And she hasn't got platinum hair
The most beautiful house in the world has a mortgage
What do I care? It's "Goodbye, care"
When my slippers are next to the ones that belong
To the one and only beautiful girl in the world
Social? Not a bit
Natural kind of wit
She'd shine anywhere
And she hasn't got platinum hair
The most beautiful house in the world has a mortgage
What do I care? It's "Goodbye, care"
When my slippers are next to the ones that belong
To the one and only beautiful girl in the world
In John T. Williams's song "The Most Beautiful Girl in the World," the singer describes his love for a woman who is not superficial or obsessed with material possessions. He talks about how she picks out his ties, eats his candy, and drinks his brandy, but it's clear that he doesn't mind sharing with her because she is the most beautiful girl in the world to him. The star of the world that he finds beautiful isn't the famous actresses like Garbo or Dietrich, but his own sweetheart who has a natural kind of wit that makes him believe that the world is truly beautiful.
The singer emphasizes that his love interest is not someone who is obsessed with wealth or social status. She shines bright wherever she goes, without needing to change anything about herself, including her hair color, which is not platinum like many other famous actresses of the time. The most beautiful house in the world might have a mortgage, but the singer doesn't care because he knows that when he is with his beautiful girl, he can say goodbye to his cares. He describes how happy he is when his slippers are next to hers, indicating that their home is where he feels the most comfortable and content.
