OH! YOU BEAUTIFUL DOLL
Honey dear, When you're near,
Just turn out the light and then come over here,
Nestle close, Up to my side,
My heart's on fire, With love's desire.
In my arms, rest complete,
I never thought that life could ever be so sweet,
Till I met you some time ago,
But now you know I love you so
Oh! you beautiful doll,
You great big beautiful doll!
Let me put my arms about you,
I could never live without you;
Oh! you beautiful doll,
You great big beautiful doll!
If you ever leave me how my heart will ache,
I want to hug you but I fear you'd break
Oh, oh, oh, oh,
Oh, you beautiful doll!
Precious prize, Close your eyes,
Now we're goin' to visit love's paradise,
Press your lips Again to mine,
Love is king Of ev'ry thing,
Squeeze me dear, I don't care!
Hug me just as if you were a grizzly bear,
This is how I'll go through life,
No care or strife, When you're my wife
Honey dear, When you're near,
Just turn out the light and then come over here,
Nestle close, Up to my side,
My heart's on fire, With love's desire.
In my arms, rest complete,
I never thought that life could ever be so sweet,
Till I met you some time ago,
But now you know I love you so
Oh! you beautiful doll,
You great big beautiful doll!
Let me put my arms about you,
I could never live without you;
Oh! you beautiful doll,
You great big beautiful doll!
If you ever leave me how my heart will ache,
I want to hug you but I fear you'd break
Oh, oh, oh, oh,
Oh, you beautiful doll!
Precious prize, Close your eyes,
Now we're goin' to visit love's paradise,
Press your lips Again to mine,
Love is king Of ev'ry thing,
Squeeze me dear, I don't care!
Hug me just as if you were a grizzly bear,
This is how I'll go through life,
No care or strife, When you're my wife
