Bei Mir Bist Du Schoen

Of all the boys I've known, and I've known some

Until I first met you I was lonesome

And when you came in sight, dear my heart grew light

And this old world seemed new to me

You're really swell, I have to admit you

These are the expressions that really fit you

And so I've wracked my brain, hoping to explain

All the things that you do to me

Bei Mir Bist du Schoen

Please let me explain

Bei Mir Bist du Schoen

Means you're grand

Bei Mir Bist du Schoen

Again, I'll explain

It means you're the fairest in the land

I could say "Bella, bella", even "Sir Wunderbar"

Each language only helps me tell you how grand you are

I've tried to explain "Bei Mir Bist du Schoen"

So kiss me and say you understand

Bei Mir Bist du Schoen

You've heard it all before, but let me try to explain

"Bei Mir Bist du Schoen" means that's you're grand

Bei Mir Bist du Schoen

It's such an old refrain, and yet I should explain

It means I'm begging for your hand

I could say "Bella, bella", even "Sir Wunderbar"

Each language only helps me tell you how grand you are

Re-dee

Re-dee, re-dee

Re-dee, re-dee, re-dee

I could say "Bella, bella", even "Sir Wunderbar"

Each language only helps me tell you how grand you are

I've tried to explain "Bei Mir Bist du Schoen"

So kiss me and say that you will understand
