'Cause Bessie couldn't help it any more Than you could or I could Aww, dum pe dum, now people listen Bessie couldn't help it any more Than you could or I could No, Bessie couldn't help it though she tried to be good Oh, so good She was pretty as the heavens above And oh, boy how that girl could love Bessie had affection that was simply wonderful Bop, bop be de oww Bessie couldn't help it any more Than you could or I could Now when she smiled you were bound to fall, that's all boy Boy kissed Bessie in the street one night My oh, my, how she yelled with delight Bessie couldn't help it any more Than you could or I could
