You Tell 'Em 1919 Kern

There is someone, oh, so sweet
that I need to make the day complete;
for if she isn't here,
I rather fear,
I wouldn't be worth that!
One thing you would have me do
is describe this bunch of charm to you.
I would love to comply
but when I try
words always leave me flat.

Has she got
a little dimple in her cheek?
You tell 'em!
Has she got
the kind of eyes that seem to speak?
You tell em!
With her golden tresses
and simple dresses
is this girlie sweet?
You tell 'em!
Go on and tell 'em!
Has she got
the cutest little stubby nose?
You tell 'em!
Has she got
a mouth that's mighty like a rose?
If you knew how I love this girlie,
you tell 'em!
'Cause I want the world to know.

Has she got
a little dimple in her cheek?
You tell 'em!
Has she got
the kind of eyes that seem to speak?
You tell em!
With her golden tresses
and simple dresses
is this girlie sweet?
You tell 'em!
Go on and tell 'em!
Has she got
the cutest little stubby nose?
You tell 'em!
Has she got
a mouth that's mighty like a rose?
If you knew how I love this girlie,
you tell 'em!
'Cause I want the world to know.

Though you've learned a little bit
you will never know the half of it.
For if I should impart
what's in my heart
we would be here for days.
If you love somebody,
you ought to know
just what I'm going through
so I must be excused
I'm so enthused
I cannot sing her praise.

Has she got
a little dimple in her cheek?
You tell 'em!
Has she got
the kind of eyes that seem to speak?
You tell em!
With her golden tresses
and simple dresses
is this girlie sweet?
You tell 'em!
Go on and tell 'em!
Has she got
the cutest little stubby nose?
You tell 'em!
Has she got
a mouth that's mighty like a rose?
If you knew how I love this girlie,
you tell 'em!
'Cause I want the world to know.

Has she got
a little dimple in her cheek?
You tell 'em!
Has she got
the kind of eyes that seem to speak?
You tell em!
With her golden tresses
and simple dresses
is this girlie sweet?
You tell 'em!
Go on and tell 'em!
Has she got
the cutest little stubby nose?
You tell 'em!
Has she got
a mouth that's mighty like a rose?
If you knew how I love this girlie,
you tell 'em!
'Cause I want the world to know.
