Scatterbrain

Frankie Masters

- words by Johnny Burke, music by Khan Keene, Carl Bean and Frankie Masters



You're as pleasant as the morning and refreshing as the rain

Isn't it a pity that you're such a scatterbrain?

When you smile it's so delightful

When you talk it's so insane

Still it's charming chatter, scatterbrain

I know I'll end up apoplectic

But there's nothing I can do

It's just the same as being in a hurricane

And though my life will be too hectic

I'm so much in love with you

Nothing else can matter

You're my darling scatterbrain



You're as gay as New Year parties, you're as sweet as sugarcane

But when you get serious, you're such a scatterbrain

When we dance I think it's heaven

Till about the third refrain

Then you start your patter, scatterbrain

Perhaps I'm much too analytic

But I'm up the well-known tree

I've tried to understand your double-talk in vain

Yet won't you please forgive your critic

'Cause you mean so much to me

Nothing else can matter

You're my darling scatterbrain
