For your sparkling cocky smile I've walked a million miles   Begging you to come and wed me in the spring   Why do you, my dear, delay?   What makes you laugh and turn away?   You're a hesitating beauty, Nora Lee      Well, I know that you are itching to get married, Nora Lee   And I know how I'm twitching for the same thing, Nora Lee   By the stars and clouds above we could spend our lives in love   You're a hesitating beauty, Nora Lee      We can build a house and home where the flowers come to bloom   Around our yard I'll nail a fence so high   That the boys with peeping eyes cannot see that angel face   Of my hesitating beauty, Nora Lee      Well, I know that you are itching to get married, Nora Lee   And, I know how I'm twitching for the same thing, Nora Lee   By the stars and clouds above we can spend our lives in love   If you'd quit your hesitating, Nora Lee      We can ramble hand in hand across the grasses of our land   I'll kiss you for each leaf on every tree   We can bring our kids to play where the dry leaves blow today   If you'd quit your hesitating, Nora Lee      Well, I know that you are itching to get married, Nora Lee   And, I know how I'm twitching for the same thing, Nora Lee   By the stars and clouds above we could spend our lives in love   If you'd quit your hesitating, Nora Lee
