Lyrics: Ira Gershwin Music: George Gershwin



Don't mind telling you, in my humble fash

That you thrill me through, with a tender pash,

When you said you care, 'magine my emoshe

I swore then and there, permanent devoshe,

You made all other men seem blah

Just you alone filled me with ahhhhhhhh......



's wonderful, 's marvellous

you should care for me!

's awful nice, 's paradise,

's what I love to see.



You've made my life so glamorous,

You can't blame me for feeling amorous!

Oh 's wonderful, 's marvellous,

That you should care for me!



's magnificque, 's what I seek

You should care for me.

's elegant, 's what I want,

's what I love to see.



My dear, it's four leaved clover time,

From now on my heart's working overtime,

's exceptional, 's no bagatelle,

That you should care for...

That you should care for...

That you should care for me.......



Original Version:

Verse 1:

Peter:

Life has just begun:

Jack has found his Jill.

Don't know what you've done,

But I'm all-a-thrill.

How can words express

Your divine appeal?

You could never guess

All the love I feel.

From now on, lady, I insist,

For me no other grls exist.



Refrain 1:

's wonderful, 's marvellous

you should care for me!

's awful nice, 's paradise,

's what I love to see.



You've made my life so glamorous,

You can't blame me for feeling amorous!

Oh 's wonderful, 's marvellous,

That you should care for me!



Verse 2:

Frankie:

Don't mind telling you, in my humble fash

That you thrill me through, with a tender pash,

When you said you care, 'magine my emoshe

I swore then and there, permanent devosh,

You made all other men seem blah

Just you alone filled me with ahhhhhhhh......



Refrain 2:

's wonderful, 's marvellous

you should care for me!

's awful nice, 's paradise,

's what I love to see.



You've made my life so glamorous,

You can't blame me for feeling amorous!

Oh 's wonderful, 's marvellous,

That you should care for me!

My dear it's four-leaf clover time;

From now on my heart's working overtime.

Oh, 's wonderful! 's marvellous

That you should care for me!
