Verse:

There she is!  There she is!  There's what keeps me up at night.
Oh, gee whiz! Oh, gee whiz!  There's why I can't eat a bite.
Those flaming eyes!  That flaming youth!
Oh, Mister,  Oh, Sister,  Tell me the truth;

 

Chorus:

Ain't She Sweet?  See her coming down the street!

Now I ask you very confidentially Ain't She Sweet?
Ain't she nice?  Look her over once or twice.

Now I ask you very confidentially Ain't she nice?

Just cast an eye in her direction.

Oh, me!  Oh, my!  Ain't that perfection?
I repeat, don't you think that's kind of neat?

And I ask you very confidentialy Ain't She Sweet?
