Bessie Couldn't Help It

Bessie Couldn't Help It - Hoagy Carmichael

Bessie couldn't help it

Any more than you could

Or I could

Bessie couldn't help it

Though she tried to be good

Oh so good

She's pretty as the heavens above

Oh boy how that she could love

Oh Bessie had affection

And that for simply wonderful

Dududu

Bessie couldn't help it

Any more than you could

Or I could

Oh when she smiled

You were bound to fall

That's all

A boy kissed Bessie

In the taxi one night

Why oh

Why did she yell with delight

Bessie couldn't help it

Any more than you could

Or I could
