Bessie Couldn't Help It

Bessie Couldn't Help It

Bessie Couldn't Help It

Bessie Couldn't Help It any more

Than you could or I could

Bessie Couldn't Help It though she tried to be good

Oh, so good

She was pretty as the heaven's above

Oh, boy but how she could love

Bessie had affection that was simply wonderful, terrible

But Bessie Couldn't Help It any more

Than you could or I could

When she smiled you were bound to fall, that's all

A boy kissed Bessie in the parlor one night

Why, oh, why did she yell with delight?

? Cause Bessie Couldn't Help It any more

Than you could or I could

Aww, dum pe dum, now people listen

Bessie Couldn't Help It any more

Than you could or I could

No, Bessie Couldn't Help It though she tried to be good

Oh, so good

She was pretty as the heavens above

And oh, boy how that girl could love

Bessie had affection that was simply wonderful

Bop, bop be de oww

Bessie Couldn't Help It any more

Than you could or I could

Now when she smiled you were bound to fall, that's all boy

Boy kissed Bessie in the street one night

My oh, my, how she yelled with delight

Bessie Couldn't Help It any more

Than you could or I could
