DU HOST* A LIEBES PUNIM (DARLING, I LOVE YOU)
(Herscher / Jolson / Lewin)
Al Jolson

* host = hast ?

We met one night beneath the stars
We danced to music of guitars
Do you recall that melody
It was intrancing
While we were dancing
Here's what the words mean to me:

Du Host A Liebes Punim
You're lovely and attractive
In any language your a picture so divine
Your Punim is just gorgeous
I mean your face is lovely
And as Cole Porter says 
"You're tops as tops can be!" 

Instead of singing praises 
With all those highbrow phrases 
I rather glorify your charms 
With something new

So I made up a refrain 
You almost drove me insane
Du Host A Liebes Punim
Darling, I love you!
