Lyrics

Many queens I have seen,
On the stage and the screen
Who, would never do.
Billie Burke, Alice Joyce none of them were my choice,
But when I met you.
My thumping heart,
From the very start,
Knew right away dear,
That’s why I say dear.

Refrain:
Nobody but you.
Nobody will do.
I have seen them all,
But didn’t fall,
Until I saw you.
Who’s locked in my heart,
Who’s my little Yum Yum?
Honey tell me who,
You know its nobody but you
