Verse:

When I look at you, I want to laugh,
I want to laugh and sing till I'm fit to burst;
When I think that someone else didn't see you first!
If anybody had, I'd be mad enough to fight 'em!
You're a very rare, a very choice collectors' item;

Chorus:

You've got a face full of wonderful things,
Your cheek is soft as a butterfly's wings;
I love the strength in your chin
And your lips aren't thin
And your eyes lack the usual rings!
Your ears are small and a delicate pink,
Your hair has no inclination to kink,
Your brow is calm and serene,
Yet you're blessed with a bean,
Yet, I mean you're conditioned to think!
Had a lifelong theory, one you've just exploded;
I thought ev'ry face had one good grace,
But you, baby, you're loaded!
You've got a nose only Santa Claus brings,
You've got the freshness that used to be springs;
And as I praise ev'ry feature,
You fabulous creature,
The heart inside of me sings:
You're disgraceful with a face full of wonderful things!
