Classic Poem

VERSE 1 HE :

Dozens of girls would storm up;
I had to lock my door.
Somehow I couldn't warm up
To one before.
What was it that controlled me?
What kept my love life lean?
My intuition told me
You'd come on the scene.
Lady, listen to the rhythm of my heartbeat,
And you'll get just what I mean.

REFRAIN 1

Embrace me,
My sweet embraceable you.
Embrace me,
You irreplaceable you.
Just one look at you — my heart grew tipsy in me;
You and you alone bring out the gypsy in me.
I love all
The many charms about you;
Above all,
I want my arms about you.
Don't be a naughty baby,
Come to Papa — come to Papa — do!
My sweet embraceable you.

VERSE 2 SHE :

I went about reciting,
" Here's one who'll never fall! "
But I'm afraid the writing
Is on the wall.
My nose I used to turn up
When you'd besiege my heart;
Now I completely burn up
When you're slow to start.
I'm afraid you'll have to take the consequences;
You upset the apple cart.

REFRAIN 2

Embrace me,
My sweet embraceable you.
Embrace me,
You irreplaceable you.
In your arms I find love so delectable, dear,
I'm afraid it isn't quite respectable, dear.
But hang it!
Come on, let's glorify love!
Ding dang it!
You'll shout " Encore! " if I love.
Don't be a naughty Papa,
Come to baby — come to baby — do!
My sweet embraceable you.

ENCORE REFRAIN HE :

Dear lady,
My silk-and-lace-able you;
Dear lady,
Be my embraceable you.
You're the only one I love, yes, verily so!
But you're much too shy, unnecessarily so! SHE :
I'll try not
To be so formal, my dear. HE :
Am I not
A man who's normal, my dear?
There's just one way to cheer me;
Come to Papa — come to Papa — do!
My sweet embraceable you.
