[Intro] Am7 Dm7b5 G9 Cmaj7 [SALLY (spoken)]
       Fm7
So, if anyone should ask about you

         Bb7                      Ebmaj7         Cm7
about me one day, Cliff, you have two alternatives: you can either say,

               Fdim
"Oh, yes, it's true. We're living in delicious sin." Or

                             G7
you can simple tell them the truth, and say:
[Sally]
G7 Gb7 G7  C6                   E7
I met this perfectly marvellous girl

        Dm7                 G7
In this perfectly wonderful place

     Cmaj7
As I lifted a glass

       Gdim                  Fmaj7 A7
To the start of a marvellous year.

           Ddim                   F/C   Fm7b5
Before you knew she called on the phone,

  C6/G
Inviting.

            A7              D7
Next moment I was no longer alone,

    Gsus  G9
But sat reciting

     C6                  E7
Some perfectly beautiful verse,

      Dm7               G7
In my charming American style.

      Cmaj7
How I dazzled her senses

    Gdim                 Fmaj7  A7
Was truly no less than a crime.

A7  Ab7  A7   Dm7b5               D7
Now I've this perfectly marvelous girl

      C6        Bm7b5     Am7
In my perfectly beautiful room

Ab7 A7    D7
And we're living together

    Dm7      G7         C6   Cmaj7 Bm7b5 D7
And having a marvellous time.
[Cliff (spoken]
           Adim
Sally, I'm afraid this wouldn't work out. You're much

    Fmaj7
too distracting.
[SALLY (spoken)]
             Abdim G7
Distracting? No, inspiring!
[Sally]
G7  Gb7   G7 C6                   E7
She tells me perfectly marvellous tales

       Dm7                    G7
Of her thrillingly scandalous life

      Cmaj7
Which I'll probably use

     Gdim                 Fmaj7 A7
As a chapter or two in my book.

             Ddim                  F/C
And since my stay in Berlin was to force

Fm7b5 C6/G
Creation,

             A7                 D7
What luck to fall on a fabulous source

   Gsus G9
Of stimulation.

    C6                    E7
And perfectly marvellous, too,

       Dm7                  G7
Is her perfect agreement to be

        Cmaj7
Just as still as a mouse

         Gdim              Adim   A7
When I'm giving my novel a whirl.

A7   Ab7  A7 Dm7b5           D7
Yes, I've a highly agreeable life

      C6        Bm7b5     Am7
In my perfectly beautiful room

Ab7 A7  D7
With my nearly invisible,

Dm7       G7          Cmaj7 C6 Bm7b5 D7
Perfectly marvellous, girl.
[Cliff]
D7   Db7    D7
I... met... this...

G6               B7
Truly remarkable girl

        Am7               D7
In this really incredible town,

        Gmaj7
And she skillfully managed

                         Ddim E7
To talk her way in to my room.
[Sally]
E7
Oh, Cliff!
[Cliff]
         A7                    Cm7b5
I have a terrible feeling I've said

  G6/D
A dumb thing.

  E7         Em7                 A7
Beside, I've only got one narrow bed.
[Sally]
      D7       D9
We'll think of something.
[Interlude] Bb6 D7 Cm7 F7 Bbmaj7 Bbmaj7 Fdim G9 [Together]
C7  B7  C7   F#m7b5             F#7
And now this wild unpredictable girl

and this perfectly beautiful man

Gb7  G7 C7                  F7                 Bb6
will be living together and having a marvelous time
