As recorded by ANNETTE HANSHAW:

My beau will be here in a minute
And you folks can do something for me
Here's a taxi and my sweetie is in it, yes sir
What I ask you now is on the QT

Won't you look this baby over
Tell me, don't you think he's fine
Hoh-doh-doh-doh, I want you to know
He's mine, all mine

Get a load of those two dimples
Why, his kisses taste like wine
Hoh-doh-doh-doh, I want you to know
He's mine, all mine

And if he didn't have a cent to his name
That wouldn't matter, I'd still love him the same

But his dad has lots o' money
It'll all be his in time
Hoh-doh-doh-doh, that load o' dough
Will be mine, all mine

(Instrumental Break)

I've been kissed by experts
I've been kissed by sheiks
But when my baby kisses me
I taste that kiss for a week

I met Bill from Louisville
And Lovin' Sam's my friend
But when my sweetie starts to love
That's where those babies end

Oh, what a lover, I'm tellin' you
Not under cover, gonna prove it too

All the other girls get jealous
When we're struttin' down the line
Hoh-dee-doh-doh, I want you to know
He's mine, all mine

He can love like Johnnie Gilbert
And Richard Dix combined
Hoh-dee-doh-doh, I want you to know
He's mine, all mine

I'm so excited ev'rytime that we meet
I don't know if I'm on my head or my feet

Peggy Joyce once tried to phone him
And he put me on the line
I said hoh-dee-doh-doh, say, go slow
He's mine all mine

Hoh-dee-doh-doh, I want you to know
He's mine, all mine

That's all!
