Pretty the
morning,
and pretty is the dew
And pretty is the love
and smile your sweetheart gives to you
And pretty is the sunlight
that sits on the sycamore tree.
But the prettiest thing, so the saying goes,
Is a pretty little miss with a freckled nose.
And the prettiest one I ever knew is you,
is you.
Pretty is the lily and pretty is the rose
And pretty is the valley
where the weepin' willow grows
An d pretty is the ocean,
they say it's a sight to behold
But the prettiest thing that'll
take the prize
Here's a pretty little miss
with the shinin' eyes
And the prettiest one I
ever knew is you
Is you
Yes, the prettiest thing,
prettiest thing,
prettiest thing I've seen in ages
Prettiest thing,
prettiest thing ought to be starred
The prettiest thing, prettiest thing,
prettiest thing,
right off the pages of Sears and Roebuck,
Montgomery Ward.
Pretty is the ice cream,
and pretty is the pie,
an d pretty is the big boom band
from three -point junior high
and pretty is the feeling
that you feel on the fourth of July
but the prettiest thing that I ever knew
is not the big brass band or the barbecue
no, the prettiest thing I ever knew
is you is you
