ARMFUL O' SWEETNESS
(Ada Benson / Fred Fisher)

as recorded by
(Thomas "Fats" Waller & his Rhythm
May 16th 1934 New York


I found this armful of sweetness,
I'm happy as can be
Because that armful of sweetness
Belongs to me!

My perfect picture of neatness
Is with me constantly,
Because that picture of neatness
Belongs to me!

Yes I fell,
But I know I acted wise, 
I can tell
That I really found the prize;
I love my armful of sweetness!
My heart is gay and free
Because that armful of sweetness
Belongs to me!

Armful, happy,
Armful belongs to me!
Perfect picture, with me constantly,
Picture belongs to me!

Yes I fell,
But I know I acted wise,
I can tell
That I really found the prize;
Armful, heart free,
Armful belongs to me!
