My Sweetie 1917

I never felt so happy before.
a little rascal knocked at my door,
it's Cupid that I'm speaking of,
I'm in love, so in love,
I must confess that right from the start,
I went and lost my heart.

Wait till you see me with my sweetie
showing her off to a crowd.
Looking so dreamy at my sweetie
feeling so terribly proud;
She makes a specialty
of looking good to me
she ought to be right in Tiffany's window,
she's a jewel,
I know that you'll agree.
Wait till I'm married to my sweetie,
how happy I'll be,
I've got the bungalow paid for,
I've had it 'specially made for
My Sweetie, Sweetie, eetie, eetie,
My Sweetie and Me.

Wait till you see me with my sweetie
showing her off to a crowd.
Looking so dreamy at my sweetie
feeling so terribly proud;
She makes a specialty
of looking good to me
she ought to be right in Tiffany's window,
she's a jewel,
I know that you'll agree.
Wait till I'm married to my sweetie,
how happy I'll be,
I've got the bungalow paid for,
I've had it 'specially made for
My Sweetie, Sweetie, eetie, eetie,
My Sweetie and Me.

You've seen an exhibition where they
charge you a large admission to stay,
I mean the paintings that they show,
Fine, I know, but don't go:
I've got a picture and it's a treat,
you needn't buy a seat.

Wait till you see me with my sweetie
showing her off to a crowd.
Looking so dreamy at my sweetie
feeling so terribly proud;
She makes a specialty
of looking good to me
she ought to be right in Tiffany's window,
she's a jewel,
I know that you'll agree.
