Bessie Couldn't Help It

Bessie Couldn't Help It
 Bessie Couldn't Help It
 Bessie Couldn't Help It any more
 Than you could or I could
 Bessie Couldn't Help It though she tried to be good
 Oh, so good
 She was pretty as the heaven's above
 Oh, boy but how she could love
 Bessie had affection that was simply wonderful, terrible
 But Bessie Couldn't Help It any more
 Than you could or I could
 When she smiled you were bound to fall, that's all
 A boy kissed Bessie in the parlor one night
 Why, oh, why did she yell with delight?
 ? Cause Bessie Couldn't Help It any more
 Than you could or I could
 Aww, dum pe dum, now people listen
 Bessie Couldn't Help It any more
 Than you could or I could
 No, Bessie Couldn't Help It though she tried to be good
 Oh, so good
 She was pretty as the heavens above
 And oh, boy how that girl could love
 Bessie had affection that was simply wonderful
 Bop, bop be de oww
 Bessie Couldn't Help It any more
 Than you could or I could
 Now when she smiled you were bound to fall, that's all boy
 Boy kissed Bessie in the street one night
 My oh, my, how she yelled with delight
 Bessie Couldn't Help It any more
 Than you could or I could
