You couldn't be cuter, Plus that you couldn't be smarter, Plus that intelligent face you have A disgraceful charm for me You couldn't be keener, You look so fresh from the cleaner You are the little grand slam I'll bring to my family My ma will show you an album of me That I'll bore you to tears And you'll attract all the relatives We have dodged for years and years And what'll they tell me? Couldn't be sweeter couldn't be better They'll say you couldn't be nicer Exactly, what'll they tell me? Couldn't be smoother, Couldn't be surer than you are!
