He's So Unusual

You talk of sweeties, bashful sweeties

I got one of those

Oh, he's handsome as can be

But he worries me

He goes to college and gathers knowledge

Hooh! What that boy knows!

He's up in his Latin and Greek

But in his sheikin', he's weak!

'Cause when I want some lovin'

And I gotta have some lovin'

He says, "Please! Stop it, please!"

He's so unusual

When I want some kissin'

And I gotta have some kissin'

He says, "No! Let me go"

He's so unusual

I know lots of boys who would be crazy over me

If they only had this fellow's opportunity

You know, I would let him pet me

But the darn fool, he doesn't let me!

Oh, he's so unusual that he drives me wild

When we're in the moonlight,

He says, "I don't like the moonlight.

Aw, let's not talk in the dark"

Huh, he's so unusual

And when we're riding in a taxi,

He converses with the chauffeur,

Oh, why don't he talk to me?

Oh, he's so different

Others would be tickled pink to bop-op-a-dop-e-dop

He don't even know what bop-op-op-a-dop's about

He says love is hokum

Oh, I'd like to choke, choke, choke him

'Cause he's so unusual that he drives me wild

You might as well be by yourself as in his company

When we're out together, I'm as lonesome as can be

But still I'm mad about him

And I just can't live without him

'Cause he's so unusual that he drives me bop-bop-a-dop-boop!
