Oh, You Have No Idea
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There's a man
There's a man
Has the old maid's wishin' for new ambition!
Every time they see him passing along
What a man
What a man
He's a real live Petter
A sweetheart getter
When I tell you I'm not telling you wrong
Has the arms that are big and strong
Does he know where those arms belong
Oh, you have no idea
Has he weighed that I loved so much
Does he speak with his sense of touch
Oh, you have no idea
He's got a million in the bank
And that helps a lot
But say that million in the bank
Is only part of what he's got
Gosh oh gee do I wanna swear
Could he answer a maiden's prayer
Oh, you have no idea
Has he lips oh the girls adore
Does he know what he's got 'em for?
Oh, you have no conception
Has the eyes that are full of love
Do they show what he's thinking of
Oh, you have no idea
He's got that whatsee, whatsee what
What people can't name
And say that whatsee, whatsee what
Would make the wildest woman tame
Hot as fire all the girls agree
Does he spark when he's out with me
Oh, you have no idea
Does he love like a dessert sheik
When he nicks can he make 'em weep
Oh, you have no realization
Has he got what the girls all crave
When they're with him does he behave?
Come to me for information
He claims he's travelled quite a lot
In far distant lands
I don't know if it's true or not
But boy he sure has traveling hands
Like an auto he changes speed
Has he got what his Sophie needs?
Oh, you have no idea
