OH YOU SWEET THING
Words by Andy Razaf; music by Thomas "Fats" Waller.
As recorded by Harry Roy and His Orchestra, 1935.

Oh, you sweet thing!
I simply had to fall(?)
I see just why they call
You sweet thing.

Oh, you sweet thing!
I ...(?) too much
For you are really such
A sweet thing.

That one word perfection
Fits you to a tee.
Speaking of correction(?),
You're a whole confection'ry.

Oh, you sweet thing!
So sweet you take my breath,
I could love you to death,
You sweet thing.
