Bessie Couldn't Help It

Bessie couldn't help it



Bessie couldn't help it



Bessie couldn't help it any more



Than you could or I could



Bessie couldn't help it though she tried to be good



Oh, so good



She was pretty as the heaven's above



Oh, boy but how she could love



Bessie had affection that was simply wonderful, terrible



But Bessie couldn't help it any more



Than you could or I could



When she smiled you were bound to fall, that's all



A boy kissed Bessie in the parlor one night



Why, oh, why did she yell with delight?



'Cause Bessie couldn't help it any more



Than you could or I could



Aww, dum pe dum, now people listen



Bessie couldn't help it any more



Than you could or I could



No, Bessie couldn't help it though she tried to be good



Oh, so good



She was pretty as the heavens above



And oh, boy how that girl could love



Bessie had affection that was simply wonderful



Bop, bop be de oww



Bessie couldn't help it any more



Than you could or I could



Now when she smiled you were bound to fall, that's all boy



Boy kissed Bessie in the street one night



My oh, my, how she yelled with delight



Bessie couldn't help it any more



Than you could or I could
