Goo-Goo 1909 de Koven 'The Beauty Spot'

When but a child of one or less
I must confess
I loved a swain most ardently,
and he loved me,
he told of his affection true
as lovers do,
as lovers do,
his words convincing
short and few he simply said: "GooGoo!"

Tra, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la,
Tra, la, la, la, la,
Tra, la, la, la, la, la, la, la,
He simply said: "GooGoo!"

I listened to his words
so wise with glad surprise,
for he was thrice my age you see,
and nearly three,
he pierced my palpitating heart
with Cupid's dart,
with Cupid's dart,
my infant love still fonder grew
when e'er he said: "GooGoo!"

Tra, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la,
Tra, la, la, la, la,
Tra, la, la, la, la, la, la, la,
When e'er he said: "GooGoo!"

Our parents then with great dispatch
arranged that match
as soon as he was twenty three,
he'd marry me,
and now that swain I'm glad to say
comes here today,
comes here today,
to claim my love so old yet new
and tell his love: "GooGoo!"

Tra, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la,
Tra, la, la, la, la,
Tra, la, la, la, la, la, la, la,
And tell his love: "GooGoo!"
