As soon as I have saved a little nest egg I hope to ask you, dear, will you be mine? The lovers you have had say you're the best egg They repeat, you're completely divine I've heard of Pompadour and Cleopatra But you are better than the two combined How can it be you fancy me, is it that love is blind? I'm about the luckiest man in the world To have a girl like you, I'm told by Fritz and Peter Your lips would not be sweeter Oh, you must be a marvelous thing to delight The many men you do, the secrets they can find Have made me swell with pride We shall move to larger quarters To make your boyfriends feel at home Your iceman and your cops and porters Would fill the hippodrome Oh, I'm about the luckiest man in the world To have a girl like you I'm very lucky to have a little girl like you I'm about the luckiest man in the world To have a girl like you I'm proud because I can't see Yet struck the nations fancy Oh, you must have a marvelous gift to receive The many gifts you do with same old clothes And things each time the doorbell rings I have heard from Jack, the plumber A gentleman you may recall When you were through with him last summer He couldn't plumb at all Oh, I'm about the luckiest man in the world To have a girl like you, a little girl like you
