A You're Adorable (The Alphabet Song)
Perry Como with the Fontane Sisters 
Words and Music by Buddy Kaye, Fred Wise, and Sid Lippman

- Competing versions charted by Jo Stafford and Gordon MacRae (#4),
  Tony Pastor (#12), and the Buddy Kaye Quintet (#27)
- peak Billboard position # 1 in 1949

When Johnny Jones was serenading Mary
He sure could quote a lot of poetry
But he'd much rather tell 'er what he learned in his speller
When they both attended PS 33

(A)  you're adorable
(B)  you're so beautiful
(C)  you're a cutie full of charms
(D)  youre a darling and
(E)  you're exciting
(F)  you're a feather in my arms

(G)  you look good to me
(H)  you're so heavenly
(I)  you're the one I idolize
(J)  we're like Jack and Jill
(K)  you're so kissable
(L)  is the love light in your eyes

M, N, O, P (you could go on all day)
Q ,R, S, T (alphabetically speaking, you're OK)

(U)  made my life complete
(V)  means you're *awf'lly sweet*
W, X, Y, Z
Its fun to wander through
The alphabet with you
To tell (us what?) I mean (uh-huh?)
To tell you what you mean to me
(We love you alphabetically)

TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE:  * I suspect Como may have fudged it here with awf'lly 
sweet.  I don't have other versions to listen to but I'd bet they all say VERY 
sweet.
