Lyrics

When I see my baby,

(Bbm)what do I see?

(Cm)Poetry, (Db)poetry in motion.

(Ab)Poetry in (Fm)motion,

(Bbm)walking by my (Eb)side,

her (Ab)lovely (Fm)locomotion,

(Bbm)keeps my eyes (Eb)open wide.

(Ab)Poetry in (Fm)motion,

(Bbm)see her gentle (Eb)sway,

a (Ab)wave out in the (Fm)ocean,

could (Bbm)never (Eb)move that (Ab)way.

I (C)love ev'ry (Fm)movement.

There's (C)nothing I would (Fm)change.

She (C)doesn't need (Db)improvement,

she's (Bbm)much too nice to (Eb)rearrange.

(Ab)Poetry in (Fm)motion,

(Bbm)dancing close to (Eb)me,

a (Ab)flower of (Fm)devotion,

for (Bbm)all the (Eb)world to (Ab)see.

Whoa, oh, (Fm)whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,

(Bbm)whoa, oh, (Eb)whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,

(Ab)whoa, oh, (Fm)whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,

(Bbm)whoa, oh, (Eb)whoa.

(Ab)Poetry in (Fm)motion,

(Bbm)see her gentle (Eb)sway,

a (Ab)wave out in the (Fm)ocean,

could (Bbm)never (Eb)move that (Ab)way.

I (C)love ev'ry (Fm)movement.

There's (C)nothing I would (Fm)change.

She (C)doesn't need (Db)improvement,

she's (Bbm)much too nice to (Eb)rearrange.

(Ab)Poetry in (Fm)motion,

(Bbm)all that I (Eb)adore,

no (Ab)number nine love (Fm)potion could (Bbm)make me (Eb)love her (Ab)more.

Whoa, oh, (Fm)whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,

(Bbm)whoa, oh, (Eb)whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,

(Ab)whoa, oh, (Fm)whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,

(Bbm)whoa, oh, (Eb)whoa.

whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, (Ab)whoa,

oh, (Fm)whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, (Bbm)whoa,
