(Dorothy Fields, Jimmy McHugh)

Don't blame me
For falling in love with you.
I'm under your spell
But how can I help it?
Don't blame me.

Can't you see
When you do the things you do
If I can't conceal
The thrill that I'm feeling,
Don't blame me.

I can't help it
If that doggone moon above
Makes me want
Someone like you to love.

Blame your kiss
As sweet as a kiss can be,
And blame all your charms
That melt in my arms,
But don't blame me.

(Interlude)

Blame your kiss
As sweet as a kiss can be,
And blame all your charms
That melt in my arms,
But don't blame me.

(Interlude)

Blame all your charms
That melt in my arms,
But don't blame me.

Gee, it's great after bein' out late
Walkin' my baby back home
Arm in arm over meadow and farm
Walkin' my baby back home

We go 'long harmonizing a song
Or I'm recitin' a poem
Owls go by and they give me the eye
Walkin' my baby back home

We stop for a while, she gives me a smile
And snuggles her head on my chest
We start in to pet and that's when I get
Her talcum all over my vest

After I kinda straighten my tie
She has to borrow my comb
Once kiss then I continue again
Walkin' my baby back home

She's 'fraid of the dark so I have to park
Outside of her door till it's light
She says if I try to kiss her she'll cry
I dry her tears all through the night

Hand in hand to a barbecue stand
Right from her doorway we roam
Eats and then it's a pleasure again
Walkin' my baby
Talkin' my baby
Lovin' my baby
I don't mean maybe
Walkin' my baby back home

Too Marvelous for Words

[No lyrics]

. . .


They try to tell us we're too young
Too young to really be in love
They say that love's a word
A word we've only heard
But can't begin to know the meaning
of

And yet we're not too young to
know
This love will last though years may
go
And then some day they may recall
We were not too young at all

--Instrumental--

And yet we're not too young to
know
This love will last though years may
go
And then some day they may recall
We were not too young at all

That's My Girl

[No lyrics]

. . .


It is only a paper moon
Sailing over a cardboard sea
But it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believe in me

It is only a canvas sky
Hanging over a muslin tree
But it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believe in me

Without your love
It's a honky-tonk parade
Without your love
It's a melody played
In a penny arcade

It's a Barnum and Bailey world
Just as phony as it can be
But it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believe in me

Without your love
It's a honky-tonk parade
Without your love
It's a melody played
In a penny arcade

It's a Barnum and Bailey world
Just as phony as it can be
But it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believe in me

. . .


Unforgettable, that's what you are
Unforgettable though near or far
Like a song of love that clings to me
How the thought of you does things
to me
Never before has someone been
more

Unforgettable in every way
And forever more, that's how you'll
stay
That's why, darling, it's incredible
That someone so unforgettable
Thinks that I am unforgettable too

(instrumental interlude)

Unforgettable in every way
And forever more, that's how you'll
stay
That's why, darling, it's incredible
That someone so unforgettable
Thinks that I am unforgettable too
