If anyone should ask you about me one day, Cliff
You have two alternatives
You can either say
"Yes, it's true, we're living in delicious sin"
Or you can simply tell them the truth, and say
I met this perfectly marvelous girl
In this perfectly wonderful place
As I lifted a glass to the
Start of the marvelous year
Before you knew it, she called on the phone
Inviting
Next moment, I was no longer alone
But sat reciting
Some perfectly beautiful verse
In my charming American style
How I dazzled the senses
Was truly no less than a crime
Now I've this perfectly marvelous girl
In my perfectly beautiful room
And we're living together
And having a marvelous time
Ah, Sally, I'm afraid it wouldn't work
You're much too distracting
Distracting?
No! Inspiring
She tells me
Perfectly marvelous tales
Of her thrillingly scandalous life
Which I'll probably use
As a chapter or two
In my book
And since my stay in Berlin was to force
Creation
What luck to fall on a fabulous source
Of stimulation
And perfectly marvelous too
Is her perfect agreement to be
Just as still as a mouse
While I'm giving my novel a whirl
Yes, I've a highly agreeable life
In my perfectly beautiful room
With my nearly invisible
Perfectly marvelous girl
I met this truly remarkable girl
In this really incredible town
And she's skillfully managed
To talk her way into my room (oh, Cliff)
I have a terrible feeling I've said
A dumb thing
Besides, I've only got one narrow bed
(We'll think of something!)
ย
And now this wild, unpredictable girl
(And this perfectly beautiful man)
Will be living together
And having a marvelous time!
