Why do they
Think up stories
That link my name
With yours
Why do the
Neighbors chatter
All day behind
Their doors
I know a way to
Prove what they
Say is quite untrue
Here is the gist
A practical list
Of "don'ts"
For you
Don't throw
Bouquets at me
Don't please my
Folks too much
Don't laugh at my
jokes too much
People will say
We're in love
Who laughs at
Yer jokes
Don't sigh and gaze
At me
Your sighs are so
Like mine
Your eyes mustn't
Glow like mine
People will say
We're in love
Don't start
Collecting things
Like whut
Give me my rose
And my glove
Sweetheart they're
Suspecting things
People will say
We're in love
Don't praise my
Charm too much
Don't look so
Vain with me
Don't stand
In the rain
With me
People will say
We're in love
Don't take my arm
Too much
Don't keep your
Hand in mine
Your hand feels
So grand in mine
People will say
We're in love
Don't dance
All night with me
Till the stars fade
From above
They'll see
It's alright with me
People will say
We're in love
