So, if anyone should ask about you
F7 A#maj7 Gm7
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
D7
you can simple tell them the truth, and say:
[Sally]
D7 Db7 D7 G6 B7
I met this perfectly marvellous girl
Am7 D7
In this perfectly wonderful place
Gmaj7
As I lifted a glass
Gdim Cmaj7 E7
To the start of a marvellous year.
Ddim C/G Fm7b5
Before you knew she called on the phone,
G6/D
Inviting.
E7 A7
Next moment I was no longer alone,
Dsus D9
But sat reciting
G6 B7
Some perfectly beautiful verse,
Am7 D7
In my charming American style.
Gmaj7
How I dazzled her senses
Gdim Cmaj7 E7
Was truly no less than a crime.
E7 Eb7 E7 Am7b5 D7
Now I've this perfectly marvelous girl
G6 Bm7b5 Em7
In my perfectly beautiful room
Eb7 E7 A7
And we're living together
Am7 D7 G6 Gmaj7 Bm7b5 A7
And having a marvellous time.
[Cliff (spoken]
Adim
Sally, I'm afraid this wouldn't work out. You're much
Cmaj7
too distracting.
[SALLY (spoken)]
Abdim D7
Distracting? No, inspiring!
[Sally]
D7 Db7 D7 G6 B7
She tells me perfectly marvellous tales
Am7 D7
Of her thrillingly scandalous life
Gmaj7
Which I'll probably use
Gdim Cmaj7 E7
As a chapter or two in my book.
Ddim C/G
And since my stay in Berlin was to force
Fm7b5 G6/D
Creation,
E7 A7
What luck to fall on a fabulous source
Dsus D9
Of stimulation.
G6 B7
And perfectly marvellous, too,
Am7 D7
Is her perfect agreement to be
Gmaj7
Just as still as a mouse
Gdim Edim A7
When I'm giving my novel a whirl.
E7 Eb7 E7 Am7b5 D7
Yes, I've a highly agreeable life
G6 Bm7b5 Em7
In my perfectly beautiful room
Eb7 E7 A7
With my nearly invisible,
Am7 D7 Gmaj7 G6 Bm7b5 A7
Perfectly marvellous, girl.
[Cliff]
A7 Ab7 A7
I... met... this...
D6 F#7
Truly remarkable girl
Em7 A7
In this really incredible town,
Dmaj7
And she skillfully managed
Ddim B7
To talk her way in to my room.
[Sally]
B7
Oh, Cliff!
[Cliff]
E7 Cm7b5
I have a terrible feeling I've said
D6/A
E dumb thing.
B7 Bm7 E7
Beside, I've only got one narrow bed.
[Sally]
A7 A9
We'll think of something.
[Interlude]

[Together]
G7 F#7 G7 C#m7b5 F#7
And now this wild unpredictable girl
F#6/C# Bbm7b5 Dm7
and this perfectly beautiful man
Db7 D7 G7 C7 F6
will be living together and having a marvelous time
