Of all the boys I’ve known and I’ve known some
 Until I first met you I was lonesome
 And when you came inside dear my heart grew light
 and this whole 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 schön
 Please let me explain
 Bei mir bist du schön
 Means you’re grand
 Bei mir bist du schön
 Again I’ll explain
 It means you’re the fairest in the land
 I could say “Bella bella” even “Sehr wunderbar”
 Each language only helps me tell you how grand you are
 I’ll try to explain
 Bei mir bist du schön
 So kiss me and say you understand
 Bei mir bist du schön
 You’ve heard it all before but let me try to explain
 Bei mir bist du schön
 Means that you’re grand
 Bei mir bist du schön
 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 “Sehr wunderbar”
 Each language only helps me tell you how grand you are
 Wry wry!
 Wry wry wry wry!
 Wry wry wry wry wry wry!
 I could say “Bella bella” even “Sehr wunderbar”
 Each language only helps me tell you how grand you are
 I’ve tried to explain
 Bei mir bist du schön
 So kiss me and say that you would understand
