[Charlie:]
As I gaze with admiration
On your face and figure smart,
I've a curious sensation
In the region of my heart,
Such a throbbing, such a humming
You can surely hear it beat,
Like a motor-car that's coming
Round the corner of a street.
[Leroy:]
Pit-a-pat, pit-a-pat,
Does it really go like that?
[Both:]
Pit-a-pat, pit-a-pat,
And it's all because of you.
[Leroy:]
Pit-a-pat, pit-a-pat,
Pray be careful what you do,
[Both:]
Something's sure to be the matter
When your heart behaves like that,
Going pit-a-pat, a-patter,
Pit-a-patter, pit-a-pat.
[Leroy:]
Though you're shaken with emotion
And I see there's something wrong,
Still I've got a sort of notion
That it won't last very long,
It amuses you to utter
Tender speeches by the score,
But your heart's been in a flutter
Lots and lots of times before.
[Charlie:]
Pit-a-pat, pit-a-pat,
No! it's never gone like that!
[Both:]
Pit-a-pat, pit-a-pat,
And it's all because of you.
[Leroy:]
Pit-a-pat, pit-a-pat,
Pray be careful what you do,
[Both:]
Something's sure to be the matter
When your heart behaves like that,
Going pit-a-pat, a-patter,
Pit-a-patter, pit-a-pat.
