Please Take A Letter, Miss Brown The Ink Spots

Please take a letter, Miss Brown
It is strictly confidential
And it may prove influential
With someone so essential to my scheme
That I'm afraid to breathe her name

Please take a letter, Miss Brown
Just address it, "My beloved"
Then say I have discovered
An angel who has hovered in my dream
Just like a sweet, melodic stream

As my secretary, you should know
What love has done to me
And I think it very affable
You offer sympathy

Why are you crying, Miss Brown?
If it's love you are expressing
Then sweetheart, I'm confessing
It's you I was addressing from the start
So please, take this letter and my heart

C'mon here, and take a letter, Miss Brown
(Yes sir, Mr. Jones, I got a pencil and pad here)
You see, it's strictly confidential (mhm)
And it may prove influential (mhm)
With someone who is essential to my scheme
(I understand Mr. Jones, I understand)
I'm almost a-scared to breathe her name
(mm, mm, mm)
