Please take a letter, Miss Brown
It is strictly confidential
And it may prove influential
With someone so essential to my scheme
That I'm afraid to breathe her name
Please take a letter, Miss Brown
Just address it, "My beloved"
Then say I have discovered
An angel who has hovered in my dream
Just like a sweet, melodic stream
As my secretary, you should know
What love has done to me
And I think it very affable
You offer sympathy
Why are you crying, Miss Brown?
If it's love you are expressing
Then sweetheart, I'm confessing
It's you I was addressing from the start
So please, take this letter and my heart
C'mon here, and take a letter, Miss Brown
(Yes sir, Mr. Jones, I got a pencil and pad here)
You see, it's strictly confidential (mhm)
And it may prove influential (mhm)
With someone who is essential to my scheme
(I understand Mr. Jones, I understand)
I'm almost a-scared to breathe her name
(mm, mm, mm)
I told you to come on over here take a letter, Miss Brown
(I'm here, Mr. Jones, I got the pencil and pad here, I tol' you))
Just address it, "My beloved" (Your beloved)
And then say that I done discovered (discovered)
An angel who's been hoverin' in my dream
(Oh, I see, I got that too, Mr. Jones, I got that too)
Just like a sweet, melodic stream
(That man's got it bad, I know that)
You know, (What's that?) as my secretary, you should know
(know what, Mr. Jones?)
What all this love business has done to me
(I don't monkey around much with love, Mr. Jones)
And I think it's very affable
(Wait wait, what is that word, what is that word?)
Wait a minute here, what am I talkin' about
Just so you offer your sympathy
(Well, I'll do the best I can, Mr. Jones)
Wait a minute here, how come you crying, Miss Brown?
(I ain't cryin', I just got somethin' in my eye, that's all)
Well darlin', if it's love you's expressing
Then sweetheart, I'm confessing (what's that)
It's been you I was addressing from the start
(You mean to tell me you ? me all the time, you didn't tell me? Well lord, looky here)
Then I'll take your letter and your heart
