Of all the boys I've known and I've known some
Until I first met you I waslonesome
And then you came in sight, dear my heart grew light
And this ol' world seemed new to me

You're really swell, I have to admit you
These are the expressions that really fit you
And so I've racked my brain, hoping to explain

All the things that you do to me
Bei Mir Bist Du Schon, please let me explain
Bei Mir Bist Du Schon, means you're grand
Bei Mir Bist Du Schon, again I'll explain

It means you're the fairest in the land
I could say bella bella, even sir-ir wunderbar
Each language only helps me tell you how grand you are
I've tried to explain, Bei Mir Bist Du Schon

So kiss me and say you understand
Bei Mir Bist Du Schon
You've heard it all before but let me try to explain
Bei Mir Bist Du Schon, means that you're grand
Bei Mir Bist Du Schon
It's such an old refrain and yet I? ll say it again
It means I am begging for your hand
