Johnny was bashful and shy. 
Nobody understood why, 
Mary loved him, 
All the other girls passed him by. 
Every one wanted to know
How she could pick such a beau. 
With a twinkle in her eye. 
She made this reply.

Mary continued to praise Johnny's remarkable ways, 
To the ladies 
And you know advertising pays. 
Now Johnny's never alone 
He has the busiest phone 
Almost every other day. 
A new girl will say.

He's not so good in a crowd but when you get him alone 
You'd be surprised, 
He isn't much at a dance 
But then when he takes you home 
You'd be surprised 
He doesn't look like much of a lover,
But don't judge a book by it's cover. 
He's got the face of an Angel but 
There's a Devil in his eyes. 
He's such a delicate thing but when he starts in to squeeze, 
You'd be surprised, 
He doesn't look very strong but when you sit on his knee, 
You'd be surprised 
At a party or at a hall 
I've got to admit he's nothing at all 
But in a Morris chair, 
You'd be surprised.

He's not so good in the house but on a bench in the park 
You'd be surprised, 
He isn't much in the light but when he gets in the dark 
You'd be surprised 
I know he looks as slow as the Erie 
But you don't know the half of it dearie 
He looks as cold as an Eskimo
But there's fire in his eyes 
He doesn't say very much but when he starts in to speak 
You'd be surprised, 
He's not so good at the start but at the end of a week 
You'd be surprised 
On a streetcar or in a train 
You'd think he was born without any brain, 
But in a taxicab, 
You'd be surprised.
