That's the only thing I've plenty of, baby
Dream a while, scheme a while
You're sure to find Happiness and I guess
All those things you've always pined for
Now, gee I love to see you looking' swell, baby
Diamond bracelets Woolworth doesn't sell, baby
Till that lucky day, you know darn well,
Baby I can't give you anything but love
Gee, I love to see you looking' swell, baby.
Look like you just came up out of the wishing well, baby.
Dream awhile, scheme awhile and you're sure happiness and
ALL those things you been looking' for baby. Gee,
I love to see you looking' swell, baby!
Diamond rings, bracelets, gold watches 'n' everything, baby.
Until that lucky day, honey, you know good 'n' doggone well, honey,
I can't give you a dad gum thing but love.
Now, I can't give you anything but love, baby
That's the only thing I've plenty of, baby
Dream a while, scheme a while You're sure to find
Happiness and I guess All those things you've always pined for
Now, gee I love to see you looking' swell, baby
Diamond bracelets Woolworth doesn't sell, baby
Till that lucky day, you know darn well,
baby I can't give you anything but love
