Little girlie, late and early
You'll be on my mind
For you're just the kind
I tried so long to find
When you're near me
When you cheer me
I can plainly see
Love is ev'rything that it's cracked up to be
Oh me! oh my! oh you!
No other girl will do
Cares would be forever ended
And this world would be so splendid
If you cared enough, dear, to be true
Oh me! oh my! oh you!
Those lips, those eyes of blue
You're so lovely, you're so sweet
You simply lift me off my feet
Oh me! oh my!, oh you!

As recorded by DORIS DAY:
Oh me, oh my, oh my, oh me, oh you
Oh me, oh my, oh you
No other boy will do
Cares would be forever ended
And the world would be so splendid
If you cared enough, dear, to be true
Oh me, oh my, oh you (oh you)
Those lips, those eyes of blue
You're so handsome, you're so sweet
You simply lift me off my feet
Oh me, oh my, oh you
(Oh me) Oh me, (oh my) oh my, (oh you) oh you
(No other girl will do) Is it true
(Cares would be forever ended)
(And this world would be so splendid)
(If you cared enough dear to be true)
Oh me, oh my, oh you
(No other girl will do)
Cares would be forever ended
(And this world would be so splendid)
If you cared enough dear to be true
Oh me, oh my, oh you
(Those lips those eyes of blue)
You're so handsome, you're so sweet
You simply lift me off my feet
Oh me, oh my, oh you
Oh me, oh my, oh my, oh me, oh you
