Verse 1:

There's a girl named Lily who has sweethearts by the score,
They're all silly
Over Lily.
Almost ev'ry evening, there is someone at her door,
Bent on spooning,
Always crooning!

Chorus:

Lily, you're the Lily
That is growing in my heart;
I'd go daffy-dilly
If I thought we would part.
Why hesitate, dear,
Make me wait, dear,
When you know my love is true?
Lily, be my Lily,
Don't you know I love you?

Verse 2:

Sunday is the one day of the week that Lily blooms,
There's no layoff
On her day off.
Like a lot of sardines, they are packed in Lily's rooms,
In the hallways,
Singing always!

[Chorus]
