6 7 5 6 6 6 -5 5 6 6 I used to dream that I would discover 5 -6 5 6 6 -8 7 The perfect lover someday. 8 -8 7 -7 -6 -7 -7 -8 -6-6 I knew I'd recognize him if ever 7 6 6 -7 5 He came 'round my way. 6 6 -7 -7 -6 -7 -8 -8 I always used to fancy then 8 7 -7 -7 -7 -6 -7 6 -6 6 He'd be one of the god-like kind of men, 5 -5 6 -7 -7 -6 -7 6 5 5 With a giant brain and a noble head, 6 -6 -7 -8 -8 Like the heroes bold 7 7 -7 6 6 In the books I've read. 6 6 8 6 -6 8 -8 8 -8 8 -8 But along came Bill, who's not the type at all. 6 7 -8 7 -8 7 -7 -6 -7 6 -6 6 You'd meet him on the street and never notice him. -6 -5 5 -4 -7 6 -5 5 His form, his face, his manly grace 6 7 -8 8 8 -8 7 -7 7 -8 7 -7 Are not the kind that you would find in a statue. -6 6 8 6 -6 And I can't explain-- 8 -8 8 -8 8 -8 6 7 5 -6 It's surely not his brain that makes me thrill. -6 7 -4 -5 -6 7 8 6 -6 I love him because, he's wonderful 6 -6 7 -8 8 7 Because he's just my Bill. He can't play golf or tennis or polo, Or sing a solo, or row. He isn't half as handsome As dozens of men I know. He isn't tall or straight or slim, And he dresses far worse than Ted or Jim. And I can't explain whey he should be Just the one, one, man in the world for me. He's just my Bill, and ordinary guy. He hasn't got a thing that I can brag about And yet to be, upon his knee, So comfy and roomy Seems natural to me. And I can't explain-- It's surely not his brain That makes me thrill. I love him because, he's--I don't know-- Because he's just my Bill. |
