Lyrics
When you turn to the subject of Harry That's a horse from a different safari. He can box like a fox, he's as dumb as an ox But it's Harry I'm planning to marry
(Yes, it's Harry she's plannin' to marry)
My heart's twined around his suspenders He's the one that I truly adore I'm numb, I succumb when he renders The face on the bar room floor
When he flexes his muscles, I flutter Like a butterfly caught in a shutter When he calls me his mate I just disintegrate
Since the world first began (Since the world first began) Never been such a man (Never been such a man) Who could love like he can So it's Harry I'm planning to marry!
