As recorded by LITTLE JACK LITTLE:

You've often told, but it isn't true
That I'm the only one in love with you
And though I'm always wishin' it could be
There's lots of competition for me

When the birdies in the trees
Sing their pretty melodies
Why, you're the one they want to please
Ev'rybody loves you

All the little butterflies
Look at you with jealous eyes
I suppose they realise
Ev'rybody loves you

And in their little beds
All the flowers I see
Just droop their little heads
When they see you with me, gee

I can see the setting sun
Kiss you when the day is done
No, I'm not the only one
Ev'rybody loves you

As recorded by AL FOSTER:


You've often told, but it isn't true
That I'm the only one in love with you
And though I'm always wishin' it could be
There's lots of competition for me

When the birdies in the trees
Sing their pretty melodies
You're the one they want to please
Ev'rybody loves you

All the little butterflies
Look at you with jealous eyes
I suppose they realise
Ev'rybody loves you

And in their little beds
All the flowers I see
Just droop their little heads
When they see you with me, gee

I can see the setting sun
Kiss you when the day is done
No, I'm not the only one
Ev'rybody loves you

Listen to the birdies, all the birdies in the trees
Sing their pretty little songs, sweetest melodies
And who do they sing 'em for
It's you they're tryin' to please, ev'rybody loves you

And look, look at the little butterflies
Fluttering around with jealousy in their eyes
I know why they're jealous
They realise that ev'rybody loves you

And down in the garden, in all the little flower beds
All the flowers I see, aw, they look so sad
And they droop their little heads
Every time they see you walking by with me, aw gee

I can see the setting sun
Kiss you when the day is done
No, I'm not the only one
Ev'rybody loves you
