So, if anyone should ask about you
A#7 Ebmaj7 Cm7
about me one day, Cliff, you have two alternatives: you can either say,
Fdim
"Oh, yes, it's true. We're living in delicious sin." Or
G7
you can simple tell them the truth, and say:
[Sally]
G7 Gb7 G7 C6 E7
I met this perfectly marvellous girl
Dm7 G7
In this perfectly wonderful place
Cmaj7
As I lifted a glass
Gdim Fmaj7 A7
To the start of a marvellous year.
Ddim F/C Fm7b5
Before you knew she called on the phone,
C6/G
Inviting.
A7 D7
Next moment I was no longer alone,
Gsus G9
But sat reciting
C6 E7
Some perfectly beautiful verse,
Dm7 G7
In my charming American style.
Cmaj7
How I dazzled her senses
Gdim Fmaj7 A7
Was truly no less than a crime.
A7 Ab7 A7 Dm7b5 D7
Now I've this perfectly marvelous girl
C6 Bm7b5 Am7
In my perfectly beautiful room
Ab7 A7 D7
And we're living together
Dm7 G7 C6 Cmaj7 Bm7b5 D7
And having a marvellous time.
[Cliff (spoken]
Adim
Sally, I'm afraid this wouldn't work out. You're much
Fmaj7
too distracting.
[SALLY (spoken)]
Abdim G7
Distracting? No, inspiring!
[Sally]
G7 Gb7 G7 C6 E7
She tells me perfectly marvellous tales
Dm7 G7
Of her thrillingly scandalous life
Cmaj7
Which I'll probably use
Gdim Fmaj7 A7
As a chapter or two in my book.
Ddim F/C
And since my stay in Berlin was to force
Fm7b5 C6/G
Creation,
A7 D7
What luck to fall on a fabulous source
Gsus G9
Of stimulation.
C6 E7
And perfectly marvellous, too,
Dm7 G7
Is her perfect agreement to be
Cmaj7
Just as still as a mouse
Gdim Adim A7
When I'm giving my novel a whirl.
A7 Ab7 A7 Dm7b5 D7
Yes, I've a highly agreeable life
C6 Bm7b5 Am7
In my perfectly beautiful room
Ab7 A7 D7
With my nearly invisible,
Dm7 G7 Cmaj7 C6 Bm7b5 D7
Perfectly marvellous, girl.
[Cliff]
D7 Db7 D7
I... met... this...
G6 B7
Truly remarkable girl
Am7 D7
In this really incredible town,
Gmaj7
And she skillfully managed
Ddim E7
To talk her way in to my room.
[Sally]
E7
Oh, Cliff!
[Cliff]
A7 Cm7b5
I have a terrible feeling I've said
G6/D
A dumb thing.
E7 Em7 A7
Beside, I've only got one narrow bed.
[Sally]
D7 D9
We'll think of something.

[Together]
C7 B7 C7 F#m7b5 F#7
And now this wild unpredictable girl
B6/F# Bbm7b5 Gm7
and this perfectly beautiful man
Gb7 G7 C7 F7 A#6
will be living together and having a marvelous time
