| of all the girls I’ve known, and I’ve known some
|
| Until I first met you I was lonesome
|
| And when you came in sight, dear, my heart grew light
|
| And this old world seemed new to me
|
| You’re really swell, I have to admit, you
|
| Deserve expressions that really fit you
|
| And so I’ve wracked my brain, hoping to explain
|
| All the things that you do to me
|
| Bei mir bist du schoen, please let me explain
|
| Bei mir bist du schoen means that you’re grand
|
| Again I’ll explain bei mir bist du schoen
|
| It means you’re the fairest in the land
|
| I could say bella, bella, even say wunderbar
|
| Each language only helps me tell you how grand you are
|
| I try to explain, bei mir bist du schoen
|
| So kiss me, and say you understand |
