Of all the boys I’ve known and I’ve known some Until I first met you I was lonesome And then you came in sight, dear my heart grew light And this ol’ world seemed new to me You’re really swell, I have to admit you These are the expressions that really fit you And so I’ve racked my brain, hoping to explain All the things that you do to me Bei Mir Bist Du Schön, please, let me explain Bei Mir Bist Du Schön, means you’re grand Bei Mir Bist Du Schön, again I’ll explain It means you’re the fairest in the land I could say bella bella, even sir-ir wunderbar Each language only helps me tell you how grand you are I’ve tried to explain, Bei Mir Bist Du Schön So kiss me and say you understand Bei Mir Bist Du Schön You’ve heard it all before but let me try to explain Bei Mir Bist Du Schön, means that you’re grand Bei Mir Bist Du Schön It’s such an old refrain and yet I’ll say it again It means I am begging for your hand
