As soon as I have saved a little nest egg   I hope to ask you, dear, will you be mine?   The lovers you have had say you're the best egg   They repeat, you're completely divine      I've heard of Pompadour and Cleopatra   But you are better than the two combined   How can it be you fancy me, is it that love is blind?      I'm about the luckiest man in the world   To have a girl like you, I'm told by Fritz and Peter   Your lips would not be sweeter      Oh, you must be a marvelous thing to delight   The many men you do, the secrets they can find   Have made me swell with pride      We shall move to larger quarters   To make your boyfriends feel at home   Your iceman and your cops and porters   Would fill the hippodrome      Oh, I'm about the luckiest man in the world   To have a girl like you   I'm very lucky to have a little girl like you      I'm about the luckiest man in the world   To have a girl like you   I'm proud because I can't see   Yet struck the nations fancy      Oh, you must have a marvelous gift to receive   The many gifts you do with same old clothes   And things each time the doorbell rings      I have heard from Jack, the plumber   A gentleman you may recall   When you were through with him last summer   He couldn't plumb at all      Oh, I'm about the luckiest man in the world   To have a girl like you, a little girl like you
