The most beautiful girl in the world
Picks my ties out, eats my candy,
Drinks my brandy,
The most beautiful girl in the world!

The most beautiful girl in the world
Isn't Garbo, isn't Dietrich,
But the sweet trick
Who can make me believe it's a beautiful world!

Social?  Not a bit!
natural kind of wit,
She'd shine anywhere,
And she hasn't got platinum hair!

The most beautiful house in the world
Has a mortgage, what do I care?
It's goodbye care
When my slippers are next to the ones that belong
To the one and only beautiful girl in the world!

The most beautiful house in the world
Has a mortgage, what do I care?
It's goodbye care
When my slippers are next to the ones that belong
To the one and only,
The one and only,
The one and only beautiful girl in the world!
