When You Know Me Better 1920 'Oui Madame'

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 04 Jan 2004

[Dave to Rhoda:] You're just
the sort of a girl that I have thought
that I could love.
[Men to Girls:] You heard what he said
Same here
[Rhoda to Dave:] You're just
the sort of a man
that I am very wary of...
[Girls to Men:] You heard what she said
Same here!
[Slaps Mens' Faces:]
[Dave to Rhoda:] But honest
I will take a chance with you
if you are game.
[Men to Girls:] I might express it
better but my sentiment's the same.
[Rhoda to Dave:] I'm very much
afraid that "kidder" is
your middle name,
[Girls to Men:] I think
she makes her meaning very clear.
Same here.

[Men:] When you know me better,
you will want to know me more,
You will wonder why
you never met me before.
When we get acquainted
you'll be so glad we met
and when you know me better,
want to know me better yet.

When you know me better,
you will want to know me more,
You will wonder why
you never met me before.
When we get acquainted
you'll be so glad we met
and when you know me better,
want to know me better yet.

[Dave to Rhoda:] You're just
the sort of a girl that
I would welcome with a kiss. [Kisses her:]
[Men to Girls:] Your saw what he did
Same here [kiss girls:]
[Rhoda to Dave:] You're just
the sort of man that I would welcome
then with this. [slaps his face:]
[Girls to Men:] You saw what she did,
Same here... [slap mens' faces:]
[Dave to Rhoda:] You may not
think you love me but you will
before we're through...
[Men to Girls:] And that's a promise,
bear in mind, that always goes for you.
[Rhoda to Dave:] Perhaps I will,
perhaps I won't, I'll write you
when I do,
[Girls to Men:] I hate
to keep you waiting but I fear.
Same here.

[Men:] When you know me better,
you will want to know me more,
You will wonder why
you never met me before.
When we get acquainted
you'll be so glad we met
and when you know me better,
want to know me better yet.

When you know me better,
you will want to know me more,
You will wonder why
you never met me before.
When we get acquainted
you'll be so glad we met
and when you know me better,
want to know me better yet.
