Some Sort of Somebody (1915)



[Verse]
 * (She) Have you ever really tried to concentrate?
 * (He) I don't know the meaning of the word;
 * (She) Then when you think you love a girl you hesitate?
 * (He) Not too long, for that would be absurd!


 * I know that when I'm ninety, with a long grey beard,
 * I'll still be making up my mind.
 * (She) Procrastination is a habit to be feared,
 * You will always find.

[Refrain]
 * (She) Some of the time you think you love a brunette
 * (He) I know the kind who had a Spanish mother!
 * (She) Some of the time you love a blond.
 * (He) Who came from Eden, by way of Sweden!


 * (She) And sometimes they're short, or they may be tall!
 * (He) They may pass by And sometimes they fall!
 * (Both) But you love some sort of somebody
 * All of the time.

[Verse]
 * (He) I have travelled all around this world of ours
 * (She) I don't doubt that you've been going some.
 * (He) And I have sipped the honey from the rarest flow'rs!
 * (She) You have sent the flow'rs and sipped the rum!


 * (He) In ev'ry foreign country I have met my fate.
 * I've met her so much, I am tired!
 * (She) Can you remain quite neutral and to me relate,
 * Which you most admire.

[Refrain]
 * (He) Some of the time I loved a girl from Berlin
 * (She) Sie war so schöen und lustig und so weiter!
 * (He) Some of the time she came from Spain.
 * (She) Your heart was full, oh! Of throw the Bull oh!


 * (He) And Italian girls, And French I adore!
 * (She) Now then we know Who started the war!
 * (Both) But you love some sort of somebody
 * All of the time.
