Perfectly Marvelous
I met this perfectly marvelous girl
In this perfectly wonderful place
As I lifted a glass to the start of a marvelous year
Before you knew it she called on the phone
Inviting
Next moment I was no longer alone
But sat delighting
In truly remarkable scenes
Of her charming American style
How she dazzled my senses
Was truly no less than a crime
Now I've this perfectly marvelous girl
In my perfectly beautiful world
And we're traveling together
And having a marvelous time

She tells me perfectly marvelous tales
Of her thrillingly scandalous life
Which she'll probably use
As a chapter or two in her book
And since my principal plan was to force creation
What luck to fall on a fabulous source
Of stimulation!
And perfectly marvelous too
Is our perfect agreement to be
One unshakable team
While we're giving this venture a whirl
Yes, I've a highly agreeable life
In my perfectly beautiful room
With my nearly invincible
Perfectly marvelous girl
(Instrumental break)

And now this wild, unpredictable girl
On this perfectly magical ride
Will be grabbing her moment
And having a marvelous time!
