You're A Sentimental Guy

[1st refrain:]
[Mary:]
You're a sentimental guy
It's a charge that you'll deny
But a song of Home and Mother
In a pinch could make you cry
And it seems my nat'ral bent
Is to love a sentimental guy

You can always knock them dead
With some clever thing you've said
But your heart is not in tune with
What is running through your head
And I'm perfectly content
Just to love a sentimental guy

You think your the type for Broadway
You prowl it from night till dawn
You really belong in Yonkers
With a garden and a lawn

Tho' I never heard you say
In the ordinary way
That you're simply wild about me
Still I know there'll come a day
When my evenings will be spent
With a very sentimental guy

[2nd refrain:]
[Wilson:]
You're as wrong as you can be
In your estimate of me
When the rent for my apartment
Is delayed a month or three
If some tears will save the rent
I'm a very sentimental guy

When I'm speaking soft and low
To a copper that I know
Who is taking in a pal
And I would like him to let go
If a sob will get consent
I'm a very sentimental guy

I melt with the breath of springtime
When grass starts to green the lawn
I get very sentimental
As I take my coat to pawn

[Mary:]
So you think and so you say
In your clever sort of way
But I know it won't be long before
There'll come that happy day
When my evenings will be spent
With a very sentimental guy
