Lyrics

[Verse 1]

You got a thing about you

I just can't live without you

I really want you, Elenore, near me

Your looks intoxicate me

Even though your folks hate me

There's no one like you, Elenore, really

[Chorus]

Elenore, gee, I think you're swell

And you really do me well

You're my pride and joy, et cetera

Elenore, can I take the time

To ask you to speak your mind?

Tell me that you love me better

[Verse 2]

I really think you're groovy

Let's go out to a movie

What do you say, now, Elenore, can we?

They'll turn the lights way down low

And maybe we won't watch the show

I think I love you, Elenore, love me

[Chorus]

Elenore, gee, I think you're swell

And you really do me well

You're my pride and joy, et cetera

Elenore, can I take the time

To ask you to speak your mind?

Tell me that you love me better

[Outro]

Elenore, gee, I think you're swell, ha-ha

Elenore, gee, I think you're swell, ha-ha, ha-ah
