Give him two lips like roses and clover
Don't have nobody to call my own
Listen on your magic beat
Mr. Salmon, bring me a dream
Don't have nobody to call my own
Please turn on your magic beam
Mr. Salmon, bring me a dream
It means you're the fairest in the land
I could say bella, bella,
Each language only helps me
tell you how grand you are
So kiss me and say you'll understand
you've heard it all before
But let me try to explain,
and yet I should explain,
it means I am begging for your hand.
I don't say bella, bella,
each language only helps me tell
Didi, didi, didi, didi, didi, didi.
My dear Mr. Shane means you're grand
It means you're the fairest in the land
So kiss me, and say that you will understand
