My! My! 1940 Buck Benny Rides Again

My talk was tricky and clever
my line was as sharp as a tack
but ever since I met you
Ev'rything's gone black.

I want to shout a poem about
how I dream of that gleam in your eye
I want to shout
but all that comes out is: "My! My!"
I want to sing of the flowers in Spring
but oh dear!
When you're near I just die.
I want to sing
and can't sing a thing but: "My! My!"
I should say: "Oh! How lovely."
I should say: "Ah! How sweet!"
I should have Shakespeare at the tip of my tongue
but ev'ry time we meet
I look at you
and what do I do
I get weak, I can't speak
I just sigh
and though I try
the best I can sigh is: "My! My!"
