Standard (EADGBE)

 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
