Of all the girls I've known, and I've known some
Until I first met you I was lonesome
And when you came in sight, dear, my heart grew light
And this old world seemed new to me
You're really swell, I have to admit, you
Deserve expressions that really fit you
And so I've wracked my brain, hoping to explain
All the things that you do to me
Bei mir bist du schoen, please let me explain
Bei mir bist du schoen means that you're grand
Again I'll explain bei mir bist du schoen
It means you're the fairest in the land
I could say bella, bella, even say wunderbar
Each language only helps me tell you how grand you are
I try to explain, bei mir bist du schoen
So kiss me, and say you understand
