(chorus)
                          
It's going round the town
                          
It's going round the town
                    
It's going round the town
                    
You're so lovable

               
My baby gave me notice to quit
                
I just can't get used to it
                   
She broke my little heart in two
                                       
Now somebody else is being the same old you

(chorus

            
My baby has Egyptian eyes
                           
And a wicked look beyond compare
                               
If you thought I was a fool for you
                                
Then I must be a bigger fool for her

(chorus)

He'd turn the flowers of springtime into a wreath
He says he'd love you eternally
I say please please can't you keep it brief

                         
They say they're going to bury you
                 
Because you're so lovable
                    
Put your money where your mouth was
         
You're so lovable
                            
Each tender mumble brings us closer to bedlam
         
You're so lovable
                             
The toast of the town and the talk of the bedroom

(modulation)

You're so lovable

You're so sweet
You're so honest
You say `I'll be true to you boy'
But I won't promise
Then you say you love me
Then you show me
As you lie there so lifelike below me

(chorus)
