I used to dream that I would discoverThe perfect lover someday,I knew I'd recognize him if everHe came 'round my way.I always used to fancy thenHe'd be one of the God-like kind of menWith a giant brain and a noble headLike the heroes boldIn the books I've read.But along came BillWho's quite the opposite of allThe men in storybooksIn grace and looksI know that ApolloWould beat himAll hollowAnd I can't explain,It's surely not his brainThat makes me thrillI love him because he's wonderful,Because he's just my Bill.He can't play golf or tennis or polo,Or sing a solo, or row.He isn't half as handsomeAs dozens of men that I know.He isn't tall or straight or slimAnd he dresses far worse than Ted or Jim.And I can't explain why he should beJust the one, one man in the world for me.He's just my Bill, an ordinary man,He hasn't got a thing that I can brag about.And yet to beUpon his kneeSo comfy and roomySeems natural to me.Oh, I can't explain,It's surely not his brainThat makes me thrillI love him because he's, I don't knowBecause he's just my Bill.
Lyrics by Margaret Whiting
