No. 8 - Duet - June and Dudley - "They didn't believe me."
Dudley: | Got the cutest little way, Like to watch you all the day. And it certainly seems fine Just to think that you'll be mine. When I see your pretty smile, Makes the living worth the while, So I've got to run around Telling people what I've found. And when I told them How beautiful you are, They didn't believe me! They didn't believe me! Your lips, your eyes, your cheeks, your hair Are in a class beyond compare. You're the loveliest girl that one could see! And when I tell them — And I'm certainly goin' to tell them That I'm the man whose wife one day you'll be, They'll never believe me — They'll never believe me — That from this great big world you've chosen me. |
June: | Don't know how it happen'd quite, May have been the summer night, May have been — well, who can say. Things just happen anyway. All I know is I said "Yes," Hesitating more or less And you kiss'd me where I stood, Just like any fellow would. And when I told them How wonderful you are, They didn't believe me! They didn't believe me! Your lips, your eyes, your curly hair Are in a class beyond compare. You're the loveliest thing that one could see. And when I tell them — And I'm certainly goin' to tell them That I'm the girl whose boy one day you'll be, They'll never believe me — They'll never believe me — That from this great big world you've chosen me. |
