Ev'ry one who sees you says
"fascinating face;
heavens what a figure" and
"Goodness me, what grace."

Ev'ryone who meets you must
lose his heart I find,
then he's sure to lose his mind.

You're as pleasant as the morning
and refreshing as the rain,
Isn't it a pity that
you're such a scatter~brain?

When you smile it's so delightful,
When you talk it's so insane,
Still it's charming chatter scatter~brain.

I know I'll end up apoplectic
but there's nothing I can do,
it's just the same as being in a hurricane.

And though my life will be too hectic
there is nothing I can do,
nothing else can matter
you're my darling Scatter~Brain!

You're as pleasant as the morning
and refreshing as the rain,
Isn't it a pity that
you're such a scatter~brain?

When you smile it's so delightful,
When you talk it's so insane,
Still it's charming chatter scatter~brain.

I know I'll end up apoplectic
but there's nothing I can do,
it's just the same as being in a hurricane.

And though my life will be too hectic
there is nothing I can do,
nothing else can matter
you're my darling Scatter~Brain!

Are these madcap ways of yours
real or just pretence?
Why should one so lovely
show such a want of sense?

But though such a scatter~brain
strange as it may be,
you are all the world to me!

You're as pleasant as the morning
and refreshing as the rain,
Isn't it a pity that
you're such a scatter~brain?

When you smile it's so delightful,
When you talk it's so insane,
Still it's charming chatter scatter~brain.

I know I'll end up apoplectic
but there's nothing I can do,
it's just the same as being
in a hurricane.

And though my life will be too hectic
there is nothing I can do,
nothing else can matter
you're my darling Scatter~Brain!

You're as pleasant as the morning
and refreshing as the rain,
Isn't it a pity that
you're such a scatter~brain?

When you smile it's so delightful,
When you talk it's so insane,
Still it's charming chatter scatter~brain.

I know I'll end up apoplectic
but there's nothing I can do,
it's just the same as being in a hurricane.

And though my life will be too hectic
there is nothing I can do,
nothing else can matter
you're my darling Scatter~Brain!
