       Fm7 
So, if anyone should ask about you 
         Bb7                      Eb7M           Cm7 
About me one day, Cliff, you have two alternatives 

You can either say 
               Fº 
"Oh, yes, it's true. We're living in delicious sin." Or 
                             G7 
You can simple tell them the truth, and say 

G7  Gb7  G7  C6                   E7 
I met this perfectly marvellous girl 
        Dm7                 G7 
In this perfectly wonderful place 
     C7M 
As I lifted a glass 
       Gº                    F7M   A7 
To the start of a marvellous year 
           Dº                     F/C   Fm7(5-) 
Before you knew she called on the phone 
  C6/G 
Inviting 
            A7              D7 
Next moment I was no longer alone 
    G4    G9 
But sat reciting 
     C6                  E7 
Some perfectly beautiful verse 
      Dm7               G7 
In my charming American style 
      C7M 
How I dazzled her senses 
    Gº                   F7M   A7 
Was truly no less than a crime 

A7  Ab7  A7   Dm7(5-)             D7 
Now I've this perfectly marvelous girl 
      C6        Bm7(5-)   Am7 
In my perfectly beautiful room 
Ab7  A7    D7 
And we're living together 
    Dm7      G7         C6   C7M  Bm7(5-)  D7 
And having a marvellous time 

           Aº 
Sally, I'm afraid this wouldn't work out. You're much 
    F7M 
Too distracting 

             Abº   G7 
Distracting? No, inspiring! 

G7  Gb7   G7  C6                   E7 
She tells me perfectly marvellous tales 
       Dm7                    G7 
Of her thrillingly scandalous life 
      C7M 
Which I'll probably use 
     Gº                   F7M   A7 
As a chapter or two in my book 

             Dº                    F/C 
And since my stay in Berlin was to force 
Fm7(5-)  C6/G 
Creation 
             A7                 D7 
What luck to fall on a fabulous source 
   G4   G9 
Of stimulation 
    C6                    E7 
And perfectly marvellous, too 
       Dm7                  G7 
Is her perfect agreement to be 
        C7M 
Just as still as a mouse 
         Gº                Aº    A7 
When I'm giving my novel a whirl 

A7   Ab7  A7  Dm7(5-)         D7 
Yes, I've a highly agreeable life 
      C6        Bm7(5-)   Am7 
In my perfectly beautiful room 
Ab7 A7  D7 
With my nearly invisible 
Dm7       G7          C7M  C6  Bm7(5-)  D7 
Perfectly marvellous, girl 

D7   Db7    D7 
I... met... this 
G6               B7 
Truly remarkable girl 
        Am7               D7 
In this really incredible town 
        G7M 
And she skillfully managed 
                         Dº   E7 
To talk her way in to my room 

E7 
Oh, Cliff! 

         A7                    Cm7(5-) 
I have a terrible feeling I've said 
  G6/D 
A dumb thing 
  E7         Em7                 A7 
Beside, I've only got one narrow bed 

      D7       D9 
We'll think of something 

( Bb6  D7  Cm7  F7 ) 
( Bb7M  Bb7M  Fº  G9 ) 

C7  B7  C7   F#m7(5-)           F#7 
And now this wild unpredictable girl 
         B6/F#     Bbm7(5-)  Gm7 
And this perfectly beautiful man 
Gb7  G7  C7                  F7                 Bb6 
Will be living together and having a marvelous time
