Bessie couldnt help it
Bessie couldnt help it
Bessie couldnt help it any more than you could, or I could
Bessie couldnt help it though she tried to be good
Oh! So good
She was pretty as the heavens above
Oh! Boy but how she could love
Bessie had affection that was simply wonderful, terrible
But Bessie couldnt help it any more than you could or I could
When she smiled you were bound to fall, thats all
A boy kissed Bessie in the parlour one night
Why, oh! Why did she yell with delight
cos Bessie couldnt help it any more than you could, or I could
Aww! Dum pe dum now people listen
Bessie couldnt help it any more than you could or I could
No Bessie couldnt help it though she tried to be good, oh!
So good
She was pretty as the heavens above
And oh! Boy how that girl could love
Bessie had affection that was simply wonderful
Bop, bop be de oww
Bessie couldnt help it any more than you could, or I could
Now when she smiled you were bound to fall, thats all
Boy!
Boy kissed Bessie in the street one night
My oh! My how she yelled with delight
Bessie couldnt help it any more than you could, or I could
