Bing first recorded "Please" Sept. 16, 1932, with the Anson Weeks Orchestra. It spent 16 weeks in the charts, including six weeks at No. 1. Bing recorded it again July 27, 1940, with John Scott Trotter's Orchestra, and this new version charted the following January. According to Paul McCartney, the Beatles first hit recording, "Please Please Me," was inspired by Bing's recording of "Please."
Oh, Please.
Lend your little ear to my pleas
Lend a ray of cheer to my pleas
Tell me that you love me too.
Please
Let me hold you tight in my arms
I could find delight in your charms
Every night my whole life through.
Your eyes reveal that you have the soul of
An angel white as snow.
How long must I play the role of
A gloomy romeo?
Oh, Please.
Say you're not intending to tease
Speed that happy ending and please
Tell me that you love me too.
(Bing whistles and da da dees)
Your eyes reveal that you have the soul of
An angel white as snow.
How long must I play the role of
A gloomy romeo?
Oh, please
Say you're not intending to tease
Speed that happy ending and please,
Tell me that you love me too.
