He's not so good in a crowd
But when you get him alone,
You'd be surprised.
He isn't much at a dance
But then when he takes you home,
You'd be surprised.
He doesn't look like much of a lover,
But don't judge a book by its cover.
He's got the face of an angel but,
There's a devil in his eye.
He's such a delicate thing
But when he starts to squeeze,
You'd be surprised.
He doesn't look very strong
But when you sit on his knees,
You'd be surprised.
At a party or at a ball,
I've got to admit he's nothing at all,
But in an easy chair,
You'd be surprised.
