Dog Gone That Chilly Man
Words and Music by Irving Berlin

[Verse 1]
Did you ever fall in love with a bonehead, a stoneheaded man,
A man who doesn't know that the lights are burning low,
Means he should be most lovable?
That's the very kind of man I'm in love with;
A dove with no heart When he should hug,
snug like a bug within a rug,
That's the time he wants to part.
[Chorus]
Dog gone that chilly man of mine,
Overboard I'd shove him,
Just because he made me love him,
Doggone that chilly man of mine,
He's as cold a lover as the pole that Cook discovered,
Doggone that icy man of mine,
With a heart just like a fan,
For when I'm all fussed up for an ever lovin' spoon,
He's out in the garden, making faces at the moon,
And I sigh, and I cry,
Dog gone that chilly man.
[Verse 2]
When your heart is jumping up to your collar, you holler for love,
And that's the time a man should be doing all he can,
To love his gal most beautiful.
When I ask him for a kiss on his calldays,
He'd always refuse What would you think of any man
who talks of love While he reads the daily news?
[Repeat Chorus]
