Lyrics: 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 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 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 Maybe we won’t watch the show I think I love you, Elenore, love me 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 Elenore, gee, I think you’re swell, ah-ah Elenore, gee, I think you’re swell, ah-ah Ah
