Me! 1931 Irving Berlin

We took a walk,
we had a talk,
and let me tell you
very confidentially
the little walk,
the little talk,
have made me just as
glad as glad as I can be.
I simply wanted to know,
who she was loving, and so,
we took a walk,
and had a talk,
and I discovered pretty soon
that it was Me.

Me she gave her attention;
not to him
not to her
not to them
not to those
but to me,
Her family
they held a convention
Not for him,
not for her,
not for them,
not for those,
but for Me.
I'm delighted, Yes sir!
And I have to laugh!
Standing on my dresser
is a photograph,
which proves that She
gives all her attention
not to him,
not to her,
not to them,
not to those, but to Me!

Me she gave her attention;
not to him
not to her
not to them
not to those
but to me,
Her family
they held a convention
Not for him,
not for her,
not for them,
not for those,
but for Me.
I'm delighted, Yes sir!
And I have to laugh!
Standing on my dresser
is a photograph,
which proves that She
gives all her attention
not to him,
not to her,
not to them,
not to those, but to Me!

I took a glance
I took a chance
I knew she was
above conventionality
I told her that
I'd take a flat
and let her choose the fittings and locality.
And soon, just take it from me,
in Church that girlie you see,
a happy bride
and by her side,
you'll discover that
the bridegroom is to be.

Me she gave her attention;
not to him
not to her
not to them
not to those
but to me,
Her family
they held a convention
Not for him,
not for her,
not for them,
not for those,
but for Me.
I'm delighted, Yes sir!
And I have to laugh!
Standing on my dresser
is a photograph,
which proves that She
gives all her attention
not to him,
not to her,
not to them,
not to those, but to Me!

Me she gave her attention;
not to him

but to me,

Not for him,

but for Me.
I'm delighted, Yes sir!
And I have to laugh!
Standing on my dresser

which proves that She
gives all her attention
not to him,
not to her,
not to them,
not to those, but to Me!
