Of all the boys I've known and I've known some

Until I first met you I was lonesome

And when you came in sight, dear my heart grew light

And this ol' world seemed new to me



You're really swell, I have to admit you

These are the 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 Schon, please let me explain

Bei Mir Bist Du Schon, means you're grand

Bei Mir Bist Du Schon, again I'll explain

It means you're the fairest in the la-a-a-and



I could say bella bella, even sir-ir wunderbar

Each language only helps me tell you how grand you are

I've tried to explain, Bei Mir Bist Du Schon

So kiss me and say you understand



Bei Mir Bist Du Schon

You've heard it all before but let me try to explain

Bei Mir Bist Du Schon, means that you're grand

Bei Mir Bist Du Schon

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 sir-ir wunderbar

Each language only helps me tell you how grand you are



Re-dee, re-dee, re-dee, re-dee, re-dee, re-dee



I could say bella bella, even sir-ir wunderbar

Each language only helps me tell you how grand you are

I've tried to explain, Bei Mir Bist Du Schon

So kiss me and say that you will understand...
