Of all the boys I've known
And I've known some
Until I first met you
I was lonesome
And when you came
In sight dear
My heart grew light
And this old world
Seemed new to me
You're really swell
I have to admit you
Deserve 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 schon
Please let me explain
Bei mir bist du schon
Means you're grand
Bei mir bist du schon
Again I'll explain
It means you're
The fairest in the land
I could say bella bella
Even say it vunderbar
Each language only helps
Me tell you how
Grand you are
I've tried to explain
Bei mir bist du schon
So kiss me
And say you understand
Bei mir bist du schon
You've heard it all before
But let me try to explain
Bei mir bist du schon
Means that you're grand
Bei mir bist du schon
It's such an old refrain
And yet I should explain
It means I am begging
For your hand
I could say bella bella
Even say it vunderbar
Each language only helps
Me tell you how
Grand you are
Ree dee
Ree dee ree dee
Ree dee ree dee
Ree dee
I could say bella bella
Even say it vunderbar
Each language only helps
Me tell you how
Grand you are
I've tried to explain
Bei mir bist du schon
So kiss me
And say that you will
Understand
