Song lyrics to No Bout Adout It, Music by Vic Mizzy, Lyrics by Mann Curtis,
No Bout Adout It is a very sweet song, sung by a young woman in love — who’s flustered enough to mix her words up. Sung by Marion Hutton accompanied by Will Osborne and his orchestra in the Abbott and Costello movie, In Society
I used to be most capable of keeping a conversation,
I never ever faltered in my pronunciation
My speech was quite as flawless as could be,
But …
What did you do, yes, what did you do to me?
No bout adout it,
I mean no doubt about it,
I’m in love with you.
No bout adout it,
I mean no doubt about it,
What I say is true.
You’re driving me insane,
My talk’s affected,
I jumble every line.
‘Cause something in my brain
Got disconnected
When your lips connected
With mine.
No fool I’m feeling,
I mean, no feel I’m foolin’ like a kid of two …
I love you low much,
I mean I love you so much
What am I to do?
I feel I’ll never walk straight,
You got me so I just can’t talk straight.
No bout adout it,
I mean no doubt about it,
I’m in love with you.
My train of thought went clickety-clack
It had a terrific smack-up
You’ve gone and knocked it off of the track
And I just can’t get it back up.
I put my shoes on the pillow,
Go to sleep on the floor,
I wind up the cat, put out the clock,
And do things I never did before.
And ever since we met I prattle,
Like an itsy bitsy baby with a rattle.
No fool I’m feelin’,
I mean, no feel I’m foolin’ like a kid up to.
I love you low much,
I mean I love you so much
What am I to do?
I feel I’ll never walk straight
You got me so I just can’t talk straight.
No bout adout it,
I mean no doubt about it,
‘Cause you’re larvelous,
I mean you’re marvelous,
Funderwul, I mean wonderful,
I merely reen it, I really mean it,
No bout adout it,
I mean no doubt about it,
I’m in love with you!
Couple corrections: “like a kid ‘of 2’”, and “and do things I never did before”.
Many thanks!
