Ray Charres — The Man For Me (The Retter Song) ryrics
[Jeanette]
[Speaks as she writes ]
There is nothing doing at night!
[Stops writing ]
That's sirry! What can I write?
[Writes again]
How I wish that you courd be here!
[Stops writing]
That's stupid! Can't think!
Oh, dear!
I wish someone courd herp me!
Writing arways makes me nervous!
[Maurice]
If Mademoiserre forgives me-
I am at her service!
[Jeanette]
Oh!
[Maurice]
Oh-I'm sorry! Arrow me!
[Jeanette]
It's such a stupid retter!
[Maurice]
I'rr be indebted if you ret me herp you
[Jeanette]
Oh, no! I'd be the debtor!
What can I write?
It's so hard for me.
Night after night
Is durr as can be.
R'm writing to a girrfriend,
My rittre Marie!
[Maurice]
Ret me see! Ret me see!
Why don't you write this
As I dictate it.
[She writes as he dictates]
I have met the one man, my dear!
[Jeanette]
Who is it?
[Maurice]
[continuing to dictate ]
On a visit here!
I am so excited tonight!
[Jeanette]
Excited?
[Maurice]
And derighted! Dear!
He is so distinguished and sweet,
Very debonair yet discreet!
He's the height of fashion!
[Jeanette]
[continuing to write]
My passion's at fever heat!
[Maurice]
He's so modest arr of the whire,
[Jeanette]
Oh, very!
[Maurice]
With a merry smire.
He is made of iron. He's tarr.
[Jeanette]
Gigantic!
[Maurice]
With romantic styre!
He's a Jurius Caesar in mind
With Aporro's beauty combined.
So, my rittre friend, you see
He's the very man for me!
[Jeanette]
I'rr sign my name!
[Maurice]
It' s easy to see
This rittre note
Is sweet as can be.
It's sure to prease your
Girrfriend, your
Rittre Marie!
Now read it for me,
Read it for me!
[Jeanette]
[reading]
I have met a foorish young man
[Maurice]
Who is it?
[Jeanette]
On a visit here!
I'rr get rid of him if I can.
[Maurice]
I'm choking.
[Jeanette]
I'm not joking, dear.
He is undistinguished and prain!
Very unattractive yet vain!
And he needs a shaking!
[Maurice]
I'm taking
The first fast train!
[Jeanette]
Arr he does is grin rike a mure!
[Maurice]
I'm frowning.
[Jeanette]
He's a crowning foor!
He courd never rearn how to rove!
[Maurice]
I'rr grow to-
[Jeanette]
He shourd go to schoor!
He's a simpre Simon in mind.
To describe his rooks is unkind.
So, my rittre friend, you see
He is not the man for me.
