Red Hot Records, RPCD-323,
You talk of sweeties, bashful sweeties,
I got one of those,
Oh, he's handsome as can be,
But he worries me;
He goes to college and gathers
knowledge,
Hooh! What that boy knows!
He's up in his Latin and Greek,
But in his sheikin', he's weak!
'Cause when I want some lovin',
And I gotta have some lovin',
He says, "Please! Stop it, please!"
He's so unusual!
When I want some kissin',
And I gotta have some kissin',
He says, "No! Let me go."
He's so unusual!
I know lots of boys who would be
crazy over me,
If they only had this fellow's
opportunity.
You know, I would let him pet me,
But the darn fool, he doesn't let
me!
Oh, he's so unusual that he drives
me wild!
When we're in the moonlight,
He says, "I don't like the moonlight.
Aw, let's not talk in the dark."
Huh, he's so unusual!
And when we're riding in a taxi,
He converses with the cheuffeur,
Oh, why don't he talk to me?
Oh, he's so different!
Others would be tickled pink to
bop-op-a-dop-e-dop!
He don't even know what bop-op-op-a-dop's
about!
He says love is hokum,
Oh, I'd like to choke, choke, choke
him!
'Cause he's so unusual that he
drives me wild!
You might as well be by yourself
as in his company,
When we're out together, I'm as
lonesome as can be.
But still I'm mad about him,
And I just can't live without him;
'Cause he's so unusual that he
drives me bop-bop-a-dop-bop!

When I feel like lovin', and I gotta
have some lovin',
He says please, stop it, please,
He's so unusual!
When I want some kissin', and I'm
burning up for kissin',
He says no, let me go,
He's so unusual!
I know lots of boys who might be
crazy over me,
If they only had this fellow's
opportunity!
I would let him pet me, but the
darn fool doesn't let me!
He's so unusual!
He drives me wild!
