I May Be Wrong 1929

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 06 Aug 2002

[He:] When I play roulette,
when I place a bet,
I have been a loser all my life.
Like a two year old
I pick 'em bad I'm told,
Still, I think I'd find in you a perfect wife.

I may be wrong, but
I think you're wonderful!
I may be wrong, but
I think you're swell!
I like your style: say,
I think it's marvellous.
I'm always wrong,
so how can I tell?
All of my clothes are unsightly,
all of my hats are a crime.
If, dear, in you I picked rightly
it's the very first time.
You came along, say
I think you're wonderful!
I think you're grand, but
I may be wrong.

I may be wrong, but
I think you're wonderful!
I may be wrong, but
I think you're swell!
I like your style: say,
I think it's marvellous.
I'm always wrong,
so how can I tell?
All of my clothes are unsightly,
all of my hats are a crime.
If, dear, in you I picked rightly
it's the very first time.
You came along, say
I think you're wonderful!
I think you're grand, but
I may be wrong.

[She:] Though your lot is sad,
I am just as bad,
Mine is really quite a hopeless case.
Oculists advise glasses for my eyes,
without them I can't even see your face.

I may be wrong, but
I think you're wonderful!
I may be wrong, but
I think you're swell!
I like your style: say,
I think it's marvellous.
But I can't see, so how can I tell?
You always want to go places,
Life is to me just a bore.
Faces are all open spaces
you might be John Barrymore.
You came along, say
I think you're wonderful!
I think you're grand, but
I may be wrong.

I may be wrong, but
I think you're wonderful!
I may be wrong, but
I think you're swell!
I like your style: say,
I think it's marvellous.
But I can't see, so how can I tell?
You always want to go places,
Life is to me just a bore.
Faces are all open spaces
you might be John Barrymore.
You came along, say
I think you're wonderful!
I think you're grand, but
I may be wrong.
