Lyrics
1. I’m mad about a sweet gad-about
The latest thing in gals
That walks and talks
And keeps me watchin’ my pals
I’m so excited, I’ll be delighted
Just to point her out
That’s her, yes, sir
The one I’m talkin’ about
Chorus
There goes Precious
Sweetest little thing (Sweet Precious)
Just as fresh as flowers in the Spring
(Meet Precious)
She’s got something they’re calling for
And while they’re calling
She’s falling for “Yours truly”
Just a gal you surely ought to meet
(Believe me)
If you value something mighty sweet
And someday when I’m lockin’ her heart
Up in a smart little apartment
She’ll be Precious, sweet to me
Chorus
There goes Precious
Sweetest little thing (Sweet Precious)
Just as fresh as flowers in the Spring
(Meet Precious)
She’s got something they’re calling for
And while they’re calling
She’s falling for “Yours truly”
She’s the reason gentlemen prefer
(Blond Babies)
Every season fashion follows her
I’m more than sure that you’ll understand
When I demand please do not handle
She’s so Precious, sweet to me
2. When people greet her or try to meet her
We just leave them flat
They know that’s so and there’s a reason for that
I’ll tell you, Mister, I lost her sister
Showing her around
That why I’ll try
To keep this treasure I’ve found
Chorus
There goes Precious
Sweetest little thing (Sweet Precious)
Just as fresh as flowers in the Spring
(Meet Precious)
She’s got something they’re calling for
And while they’re calling
She’s falling for “Yours truly”
Let me mention everybody knows
(She’s Precious)
Draws attention everywhere she goes
And someday when I’m lockin’ her heart
Up in a smart little apartment
She’ll be Precious, sweet to me
Chorus
There goes Precious
Sweetest little thing (Sweet Precious)
Just as fresh as flowers in the Spring
(Meet Precious)
She’s got something they’re calling for
And while they’re calling
She’s falling for “Yours truly”
She might “Yes” you just to be polite
(Believe me)
She’ll out guess you when you say “Good-night”
I’m more than sure that you’ll understand
When I demand please do not handle
She’s so Precious, sweet to me
