AIN'T SHE SWEET - LYRICS
---------------------------------
Music by Milton Ager, lyrics by Jack Yellen
Published 1927

There she is, there she is
That's what keeps me up at night
Oh gee whiz, oh gee whiz
That's why I can't eat a bite
Those flaming eyes
That flaming youth
Oh mister, oh sister
Tell me the truth

Ain't she sweet?
See her coming down that street
I ask you confidentially 'ain't she sweet?'
Ain't she nice?
Look her over once or twice
I ask you confidentially 'ain't she nice?'
Cast an eye in her direction
Oh me, oh my, ain't that perfection
I repeat
Don't you think that's kind of neat
I ask you confidentially 'ain't she sweet?'

Tell me where, tell me where
Have you seen one just like that?
I declare, I declare
That sure is worth looking at
Oh boy, how sweet those lips be
Oh gaze on her, doggoner'
Answer me

Ain't she sweet?
See her coming down that street
I ask you confidentially 'ain't she sweet?'
Ain't she nice?
Look her over once or twice
I ask you confidentially 'ain't she nice?'
Cast an eye in her direction
Oh me, oh my, ain't that perfection
I repeat
Don't you think that's kind of neat
I ask you confidentially 'ain't she sweet?'

ABOUT THIS TRACK
-------------------------
"Ain't She Sweet" is a song composed by Milton Ager, with lyrics by Jack Yellen. It was published in 1927 by Ager, Yellen & Bornstein, Inc. It became popular in the first half of the 20th century and typified the Roaring Twenties. Like Happy Days Are Here Again (1929), it became a Tin Pan Alley standard. Both Ager and Yellen were elected to the Songwriters Hall of Fame.

Milton Ager wrote Ain't She Sweet for his daughter Shana Ager, who in her adult life was known as the political commentator Shana Alexander.
