I'm just a scarecrow without you
Baby, please don't disappear
I beg your pardon, dear

I gotta a bottle full of trumpet
A hatbox full of drum
I beg your pardon, dear

I got upset, I lost my head
I didn't mean the things I said
You are the landscape of my dreams
Darlin', I beg your pardon

I'd give you boardwalk
And park place and all of my hotels
I beg your pardon, dear
Please don't go back to St. Louis
Can't you tell that I'm sincere
I beg your pardon, dear
