Helen Kane, who inspired the popular Betty Boop cartoons recorded this song on September 20, 1928.

There are certain things that keep me guessing. Oh I try real hard to find them out.
Well I don't understand so I'm confessing- That I don't know just what it's all about.
Yea, I don't know the bad things from the good- Cuz' my mother never told me all she should.
A man showed me a lavalier- And said it's yours if you kiss me dear.
Oh, tell me- was there anything wrong in that?
I kissed him once and he asked for more. Next thing he's bringing the jewelry store.
Oh, tell me- was there anything wrong in that?

Now I was in the parlor with this fellow last night- And I know why he kissed me, and he squeezed me so tight.
But I don't understand a bit when he said baby you sure have lips.
What's this? Oh was there anything wrong in that?
A man loaned me his hat in black- And I told him I would bring it back.
Oh, tell me- was there anything wrong in that?
Well it was so cold in that great big boat- So I just went and took his raccoon coat.
Oh, tell me- was there anything wrong in that?

I took my mother driving on that very same day- And she said dear, you must return that car right away.
But the funniest thing you'll never guess- I forgot his name and his address
Oh, tell me- was there anything wrong in that?

Oh, tell me, tell me hey- was there anything wrong in that?

Now I ask was there anything wrong with that?

Such questions drive me crazy- Every day something new.
My poor brain gets hazy, Don't know what to do.

Bup-ba-do bah-do (etc)

Oh tell me- was there anything wrong in that?
