Song by Jerry Benson, Jimmie McHugh, and Georgie Price.

I'm all smiles, great big smiles.
Just got an answer to a letter I wrote.

She said, "Yes--I'll be dressed."

And all I did was drop her this
little note, and told her:

I'll stand beneath your window at night but I'll
whistle for you. Don't hesitate to turn off the light
and whistle so that I'll know you're set to go.

And when your daddy asks you why you're all
dressed, honey, listen--just whistle, and I'll do the rest.

Don't let anything interfere. I've a preacher waiting
right here. Remember--I'll stand beneath your
window at night and I'll whistle for you.

She's some gal, some real pal
We started right off to the preacher on time
Tied the knot, on the spot
And all because I dropped her this little line, and told her
