You've Got That Thing

Since first you blew in like a boisterous breeze

I often have wondered, Dear

Why gentlemen all seem to fall on their knees

The moment that you appear

Your fetching physique is hardly unique

You're mentally not so hot

You'll never win laurels because of your morals

But I'll tell you what you've got

You've got that thing, you've got that thing

That thing that makes birds forget to sing

Yes, you've got that thing, that certain thing

You've got that charm, that subtle charm

That makes young farmers desert the farm

'Cause you've got that thing, that certain thing

You've got what Adam craved when he

With love for Eve was tortured

She only had an apple tree

But you, you've got an orchard

You've got those ways, those taking ways

That make me rush off to Cartier's

For a wedding ring, you've got that thing

You've got that thing, you've got that thing

That thing that makes vines prefer to cling

Yes, you've got that thing, that certain thing

You've got those looks, those fatal looks

That make book censors enjoy their books

'Cause you've got that thing, that certain thing

Just what made Samson be, for years

Delilah's lord and keeper

She only had a pair of shears

But you, you've got a reaper

You've got that power, that power to grip

That makes me map out a wedding trip

For the early spring, you've got that thing

You've got that thing, you've got that thing

That thing that makes bees refuse to sting

Yes, you've got that thing, that certain thing

You've got that kiss, that kiss that warms

That makes reformers reform reforms

'Cause you've got that thing, that certain thing

They tell us Trojan Helen's lips

Made every man her slavey

If her face launched a thousand ships

Well, yours could launch a navy

You've got that that love, and such a lot

It makes me think you're prepared for what

Any stork might bring, you've got that thing
