Verse 1:

Take a guess, take a guess,
Who controls my happiness?
Who keeps me smiling through the day?
Guess again, guess again,
Guess I had you guessing then,
But I'm not guessing when you hear me say:

Chorus 1:

Oh, what eyes, an' furthermore,
Oh, what lips, an' furthermore,
Oh, oh, oh, an' furthermore,
She belongs to me.
Oh, what style, an' furthermore,
What a smile, an' furthermore,
Oh, oh, oh, an' furthermore,
She belongs to me.
She never says, "No,"
She never says, "Yes,"
Apparently slow,
But nevertheless;
Oh, can she love, an' furthermore,
Does she love, an' furthermore,
Oh, oh, oh, an' furthermore,
She belongs to me!

Chorus 2 (from recording):

Lots of chins, an' furthermore,
Looks like twins, an' furthermore,
Oh, oh, oh, an' furthermore,
She belongs to me!
Eats, of course, an' furthermore,
Like a horse, an' furthermore,
Oh, oh, oh, an' furthermore,
She belongs to me!
When she's in a car,
The passengers frown,
'Cause when she gets up,
Six people sit down!
But I'm her beau, an' furthermore,
She's got dough, an' furthermore,
Oh, oh, oh, an' furthermore,
She belongs to me!

Chorus 3 (from recording):

Golden hair, an' furthermore,
What a stare, an' furthermore,
Oh, oh, oh, an' furthermore,
She belongs to me!
Fancy hose, an' furthermore,
"These and those," an' furthermore,
Oh, oh, oh, an' furthermore,
She belongs to me!
Her papa's got dough,
And horses and yachts,
A million or so
In valuable lots!
What's his is hers, an' furthermore,
Hers is mine, an' furthermore,
Oh, oh, oh, an' furthermore,
She belongs to me!

Verse 2:

Watch her come, watch her go,
Ain't she nice, I told you so;
You ought to know I wouldn't lie.
Look at here, look at there,
Look her over ev'rywhere,
No wonder I declare when she goes by:
