THREE SWEETHEARTS HAVE I
From the film "The Devil Is A Woman" (1935)
(Ralph Rainger / Leo Robin)


Marlene Dietrich (Film Soundtrack) - 1935





I'm romantic, so romantic 
That I often wish I had a more discreet heart
But believe me, please believe me 
When I tell you that I haven't got a sweetheart
(Do you mean to say that you have none?)
Did you hear me say that I had none? 
No, I only said I haven't one

Three sweethearts have I
Three handsome sweethearts
And one is a son of a... 
(One is a son of a...)
One is a son of a...
(One is a son of....Ooooooh!)
A gardener
(A gardener? A gardener)

He gives me daisies and roses 
And orchids regardless of the price 
And other things that are so nice

Three handsome sweethearts 
And one is the son of a...
(One is a son of a...)
One is a son of a...
(One is a son of ....Ooooooh!)
A farmer
(A farmer? A farmer)

He gives me butter and carrots
And onions no other farmer would 
And other things that are so good

Three handsome sweethearts
And one is a son of a...
(One is a son of a...)
One is a son of a... 
(One is son of a.....Ooooooh!)
A baker
(A baker? A baker)

He gives me biscuits and cookies 
And pastries a queen could even eat
And other things that are so sweet

(Sweethearts, all three)
To all three I'm true 
(Sweethearts, all three)
And I could be as true to you
