Jimmy Durante - It's Hard To Put It In Words

Words & music by Jimmy Durante & Jack Barnett

The other day a friend of mine gave me the number
Of a girl he wanted me to know
Blinds dates are for me,
And when she answered the phone,
I gave her my sweetest hello.

Snuggling up close to the phone I says:
"Durante speaking.How about going out with me tonight?"
She says "before I go out with you what do you look like?"
What a dilemmia
Should I tell her the truth and be turned down
Or should I lie and worry about it later?

Say I wouldn't say I was handsome
Say I wouldn't say I was cute
I'm not very tall
but gosh not at all
It's kinda hard to put it in words

The other night I made a blind date the same way-over the phone.
I said "Hello"
She said "Hello Come right over"
When I got there she took one look at my nose and said:
"You sure must have hurried, you forgot to hang up the phone"
Yes, It's kinda hard to put it in words

Its not that I want to be mysteries
Promise I'm not trying to stall
Believe me im really quite serious
I'm just an inbetween rascal that's all
