Oh How That German Could Love 1910

Once I got stuck on a sweet little German,
and oh what a German was she;
The best what was walking,
well what's the use talking,
was just made to order for me.
So lovely, and witty,
more yet she was pretty,
you don't know until you have tried;
she had such a figure
it couldn't be bigger
and there was someone yet beside.

Oh how that German could love,
with a feeling that came from the heart,
she called me her honey,
her angel was money,
she pushed ev'ry word out so smart.
She spoke like a speaker,
and oh what a speech
Like no other speaker could speak;
Ach my what a German
when she kissed her Herman
it stayed on my cheek for a week.

This girl could squeeze,
and it never would hurt,
for that lady knew just how to squeeze;
Her loving was killing,
more yet she was willing,
you never would have to say please.
I just couldn't stop her,
for dinner and supper,
some kisses and hugs was the food;
When she wasn't nice
it was more better twice
when she's bad
she was better than good.

Oh how that German could love,
with a sweetness that sweeter than sweet,
just say what you please,
you would hug and you'd squeeze,
just the shoes that she wore on her feet.
Her smile was like money
that somebody owed you,
that somebody wanted to give;
when you felt like dying
and she started sighing
Ach my it was worthwhile to live.

Sometimes we'd love for a week at a time,
and it only would seem like a day;
How well I remember,
one night in December,
I felt like the middle of May.
I'll bet all I'm worth
that when she came on earth,
all the angels went out on parade;
no other one turned up,
I think that they burned up,
the pattern from which she was made.

Oh how that German could love,
with a love like you see in a play;
when she said: "My dear."
it would ring in my ear,
for a year, and a week and a day.
Her no was like yes,
and her yes was like no,
it was something like yes, it was, well.
When we got together
ach donner und vetter,
'twas love with a capital "L."
