He's So Unusual - Helen Kane/Nat Shilkret Orchestra

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

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

You know When we're in the moonlight

He says "I don't like the moonlight

Aw let's not talk in the dark "

He's so unusual

And when we're riding in a taxi

He converses with the cheuffeur

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-bop
