YOU AIN'T HEARD NOTHING YET
Buddy De Sylva (m) Gus Kahn (l) Al Jolson (l)

as rec by Al Jolson  Sep 21st 1919


Oh boy, you oughta meet her,
Oh boy, you oughta greet her,
I mean that girlie o' mine,
I'll say she's simply divine!

Oh boy, I wanna tell ya,
My heart is gone!
Maybe this'll give you some idea
How we carry on;

Say, when I call she takes my hand,
But you ain't heard nothing yet!
In the hall, we act as grand,
But you ain't heard nothing yet!

When we talk about the weather,
Then we cuddle close together;
That's great,
But wait,
Oh say, you ain't heard nothing yet!

She-she-she's got the charms,
The curvy arms,
But you ain't heard nothing yet!
And I can't wait
Until the date
When I'm married to my pet.

We-we were gonna have some cute things running round,
A bungalow you bet!
But we, we first commenced
With a picket fence,
But you ain't heard nothing yet!

She's all I ever wanted,
My dreams are always haunted
By this sweet sweetie of mine!
I'll say she's simply divine, da-da-da!

She's just the sort o' girlie
You all adore,
So I'm gonna tweek my cheek again,
Just to make it sore!

Say, when I call she takes my hand,
Listen folks, you ain't heard nothing yet!
And-and-and in the hall, we act as grand,
But you, but you ain't heard nothing yet!

And when we talk about the weather,
Then we cuddle close together;
That's great,
But wait,
Oh you ain't heard nothing yet!

She's got the charms,
The curvy arms,
Ah-ha-ha-ha, you ain't heard nothing yet!
And-and-and-and, and-and when those arms are round my neck,
Say believe me boys, I'm set!

And when the lights are turned down low,
I hug and kiss my pet.
Now she gets sore
If I told you more,
But you ain't heard nothing yet!
