WHERE'D YOU GET THOSE EYES?
Who's that coming down the street
All dressed up like a Christmas tree?
Who's that comin' down my way?
What's her name? I bet it's Rose.
She's as sweet as the rose that grows.
I walk right up to her and say:
Now, tell me, where'd you get those eyes?
Where'd you get those lips?
Where'd you get those dimples, honey?
Where'd you get that smile so sunny?
Those chins,
Those nose,
Those rosy cheeks!
I'm gone--been gone for weeks and weeks!
Say, how'd you grow so nice?
How did you grow so sweet?
Where'd you get that new blue bonnet
With the doo-wacka-doo-doos on it?
Please make me happy and put me wise--
Where did you get those great big eyes?
Now, tell me, where'd you get those eyes?
Where'd you get those lips?
Where'd you get those dimples, honey?
Where'd you get that smile so sunny?
Who's that coming down the street
All dressed up like a Christmas tree?
Who's that comin' down my way?
What's her name? I bet it's Rose.
She's as sweet as the rose that grows.
I walk right up to her and say:
Now, tell me, where'd you get those eyes?
Where'd you get those lips?
Where'd you get those dimples, honey?
Where'd you get that smile so sunny?
Those chins,
Those nose,
Those rosy cheeks!
I'm gone--been gone for weeks and weeks!
Say, how'd you grow so nice?
How did you grow so sweet?
Where'd you get that new blue bonnet
With the doo-wacka-doo-doos on it?
Please make me happy and put me wise--
Where did you get those great big eyes?
Now, tell me, where'd you get those eyes?
Where'd you get those lips?
Where'd you get those dimples, honey?
Where'd you get that smile so sunny?
