Bessie Couldn’t Help It Louis Armstrong and His Orchestra

Now, Bessie couldn’t help it
Any more than you could or I could
No, Bessie couldn’t help it
Though she tried to be good, oh so good
She was pretty as heaven above
Oh boy, how that gal could love
Bessie had affection, was simply wonderful
(Scat)

Bessie couldn’t help it any more
Than you could or I could
When she smiled
You were bound to fall, that’s all babe
A boy kissed Bessie in the Buick one night
My oh my, how she smelt with delight
Bessie couldn’t help it
Any more than you could or I could, (scat)
