 When Johnny Jones was serenading Mary

 He sure could quote a lot of poetry

 But he'd much rather tell 'er what he learned in his speller

 When they both attended PS 33

 

 (A) you're adorable

 (B) you're so beautiful

 (C) you're a cutie full of charms

 (D) youre a darling and

 (E) you're exciting

 (F) you're a feather in my arms

 

 (G) you look good to me

 (H) you're so heavenly

 (I) you're the one I idolize

 (J) we're like Jack and Jill

 (K) you're so kissable

 (L) is the love light in your eyes

 

 M, N, O, P (you could go on all day)

 Q ,R, S, T (alphabetically speaking, you're OK)

 

 (U) made my life complete

 (V) means you're *awf'lly sweet*

 W, X, Y, Z

 Its fun to wander through

 The alphabet with you

 To tell (us what?) I mean (uh-huh?)

 To tell you what you mean to me

 (We love you alphabetically)

 

 TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE: * I suspect Como may have fudged it here with "awf'lly

 sweet." I don't have other versions to listen to but I'd bet they all say
"VERY

 sweet."
