Lyrics

Of all the boys I've known, and I've known some
When I first met you, I was lonesome.
And when you came in sight, dear my heart grew light
And this old world seemed new to me.

You're really swell, I have to admit
That you deserve expressions that fit you.
And though I've racked my brain hoping to explain
All the things that you do to me...

Bei mir bist du schöen, please let me explain,
"Bei mir bist du schöen" means that you're grand.
Bei mir bist du schöen, 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've tried to explain bei mir bist du schöen
So kiss me and say you understand.

Bei mir bist du schöen, you've heard it all before
But let me try to explain
"Bei mir bist du schöen" means that you're grand
Bei mir bist du schöen, 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
I've tried to explain bei mir bist du schöen
So kiss me and say you understand.

Bei mir bist du schöen, please let me explain,
"Bei mir bist du schöen" means you're grand.
Bei mir bist du schöen, again I'll explain,
It means you're the fairest in the land.

I could say "bella, bella", even "sehr wunderbar".
Each language helps me tell you just how grand you are.
I've tried to explain bei mir bist du schöen
So kiss me, oh kiss me,
I just need you to kiss me and say you understand.
