Classic Poem

VERSE

We used to spend the Spring together
Before we learned to walk;
We used to laugh and sing together
Before we learned how to talk.
With no reason for the season,
Spring would end as it would start.
Now the season has a reason
And there's Springtime in my heart.

REFRAIN

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.
Nat'ral 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 good-bye care
When my slippers are next to the ones that belong
To the one and only beautiful girl in the world!
