SPOKEN INTRO: Pardon me, lady. You got something I'm goin' to ask you to loan me. It ain't gon' be no Marmon. It ain't gon' be no Cadillac. It ain't gon' be no Rolls Royce, and it ain't gon' be no Lincoln. Now, most assured, it ain't gon' be no baby Ford. I wouldn't ask you much, to ask you for your money. You know I ain't gon' ask you to be my honey. I know the people all wonderin' what I'm gon' ask you about--I'm gon' tell you.
Loan me your heart, please, baby, can't you loan me your heart?
I'll pay you back when times get hard
Now, you know, baby, you know it's true, I don't love no one but you
I'm going to tell you, just what to do
That if you loan me your heart, now, baby, can't you loan me your heart?
I'll never see the day, you and I will never be apart
I'm going to tell you just before we start,
All I want you to do is to loan me your heart
Loan me your heart, baby, please loan me your heart
SCAT SINGING, UNTIL:
I'm going to ask you now, baby, 'fore you start,
All you got to do is to loan me your heart
Loan me your heart, baby, please loan me your heart
