[Verse]
It's mighty hard to find a sweetheart
Someone who's different from the rest
And when I'm speaking of a sweetheart
I mean someone who'll stand the test
They are so few and far between
They're not like you, here's what I mean

[Chorus 1]
When my pals turned me down
You're the one pal I found
You're a real sweetheart

[Chorus 2]
When my darkest day came
You smiled on just the same
You're a real sweetheart

[Bridge]
Now that I find fate has been kind
I'll build you a love nest that's all silver lined

[Chorus 3]
And I'll work and I'll slave
For the things that you crave
You're a real sweetheart
[Trumpet Chorus: Louis Armstrong]

[Chorus 1]
When my pals turned me down
You're the one pal I found
You're a real sweetheart

[Chorus 2]
When my darkest day came
You smiled on just the same
You're a real sweetheart

[Bridge]
Now that I find fate has been kind
I'll build you a love nest that's all silver lined

[Chorus 3]
And I'll work and I'll slave
For the things that you crave
You're a real sweetheart
