I ADORE YOU
Ralph Rainger (m) Leo Robin (l)

as recorded by Thomas "Fats" Waller & his Rhythm  Nov 29th 1936 Chicago


Was it your eyes that set me aglow?
Am I enchanted, enchanted or no?
I saw you, aha, wonderful you!
(oh you beautiful, you are a dog!)

Was there a moon and where did it go?
Are you a vision, a vision or no?
('cause I adore you, baby, yes!)
Wonderful you!
(ohhh, she's a common mutt!)

Is it that cool Summer breeze
Or sounds in the trees?
Just a part
Of a dream in my heart!
(bump goes the heart!)

Why do you sigh and look at me so?
Am I enchanted, enchanted or no?
(tell me baby, I adore you, bow-wow!)
Wonderful you!
(yes, beat it on out there!)

(yes!)
(hey hey!)
(oh super, yeah!)

Say is it that cool Summer breeze
Or the sounds in the trees?
Just a part
Of a dream in my heart!
(bumpety bumpety bumpety, there goes the heart, yeah!)

Why do you sigh and look at me so?
Am I enchanted, enchanted or no, aha?
(I adore you, yes!)
Oh wonderful you, yes you, yes you!
(to the pound with the beautiful hound, yes!)
