I never fail in picking peaches
for I've an eye, a searching eye!
If you get by with me,
It's just because I see
you have a sort of kind of something
that is diff'rent
for I believe in strict originality.

I picked you for your little nose, dear.
Of course, it's rather retroussé
It makes your lips so tempting for a kiss,
'cause it is never in the way!
I picked you for your naughty twinkle,
and just that little laughing tinkle in your eye,
and I picked you because you're,
what shall I say?
I picked you for your
Oh, mercy, May!
I can't explain just why I picked you,
because you are je ne sais quoi!
