You Know What I Mean 1919

I've been dreaming
I've been dreaming
I've been scheming, too,
I hope my dreams come true,
It all depends on you,
I'm suspecting, I'm suspecting,
That your eyes have seen,
There's something wrong with me,
and you know what I mean!

Oh I'm just crazy
'bout your kisses, honey,
you know what I mean,
for when your lips meet mine,
I feel so funny,
you know what I mean.
You're just a dream of loveliness,
you surely know just how to dress,
you play and sing, and ev'rything,
So diff'rent from the rest;
I'd like to hear the preacher,
say that we are,
you know what I mean,
and in a year or so
we both may have a little Ford machine,
we'll find a little cottage
where the roses bloom,
with a parlor and a kitchen
and a dining room,
and a room upstairs,
where we'll say our prayers,
Oh, you know what I mean.

Oh I'm just crazy
'bout your kisses, honey,
you know what I mean,
for when your lips meet mine,
I feel so funny,
you know what I mean.
You're just a dream of loveliness,
you surely know just how to dress,
you play and sing, and ev'rything,
So diff'rent from the rest;
I'd like to hear the preacher,
say that we are,
you know what I mean,
and in a year or so
we both may have a little Ford machine,
we'll find a little cottage
where the roses bloom,
with a parlor and a kitchen
and a dining room,
and a room upstairs,
where we'll say our prayers,
Oh, you know what I mean.

When we're married,
When we're married,
we'll go down to Cook's.
Look through their tourist books,
and pick some shady nooks,
Then we'll visit,
those exquisite,
tropic island scenes,
the kind you read about
in all the magazines!

Oh I'm just crazy
'bout your kisses, honey,
you know what I mean,
for when your lips meet mine,
I feel so funny,
you know what I mean.
You're just a dream of loveliness,
you surely know just how to dress,
you play and sing, and ev'rything,
So diff'rent from the rest;
I'd like to hear the preacher,
say that we are,
you know what I mean,
and in a year or so
we both may have a little Ford machine,
we'll find a little cottage
where the roses bloom,
with a parlor and a kitchen
and a dining room,
and a room upstairs,
where we'll say our prayers,
Oh, you know what I mean.

Oh I'm just crazy

with a parlor and a kitchen
and a dining room,
and a room upstairs,
where we'll say our prayers,
Oh, you know what I mean.
