Lyrics
- Who was it said that a man is crazy
To ever fall in love?
I’d like to bet he’s jealous
Of all the love sick fellows
Who said that love was a great big lemon?
It’s really like a rose
It’s wonderful! It’s marvelous!
I’m one who knows
Chorus:
Every night sitting in the parlor
Ain’t love grand?
Douse the light then you start to holler
“Ain’t love grand?”
Her folks are listening
In the room upstairs and then
Grandma tickles Grandpa’s chin
Says, “You’re old but don’t give in”
Morning breaks birdies are a peepin’
Ain’t love grand!
You’re awake but your leg is sleeping
Ain’t love grand!
Then you play “Put and Take”
Till her Dad gets there
He “puts” in his foot and you “take” the air!
What of it? you love it, ain’t love grand!
- Take my advise if you have no sweetie
You’d better fall in love
Just wait until you strike it
There’s really nothing like it
There’s not a thrill in the world
Compared to a little sweetheart’s kiss
It’s wonderful! It’s marvelous!
Just picture this
