Of all the boys I've known and I've known some
Until I first met you I was lonesome
And when you came in sight, dear my heart grew light
And this whole world seemed new to me
You're really swell, I have to admit you
Deserve expressions that really fit you
And so I've racked my brain, hoping to explain
All the things that you do to me
Bei Mir Bist Du Shein, please let me explain
Bei Mir Bist Du Shein, means you're grand
Bei Mir Bist Du Shein, again I'll explain
It means you're the fairest in the land
I could say bella bella, even say wunderbar
Each language only helps me tell you how great you are
I've tried to explain, Bei Mir Bist Du Shein
So kiss me and say you understand
