From the 1939 film “Sweet Moments”
Words and music by Teddy Powell and Leonard Whitcup
The sheet music:
Lyrics
Feelin’ high and mighty, I’m putting’ on airs
All day long I’m hummin’ Mendelsohn’s tune
Struttin’ like a peacock, I’m laughin’ at cares
All puffed up just like a toy balloon
Refrain:
Am I proud when I’m walkin’ with my honey
Am I proud, boy, I’m really in the money
When the smiles then I hear angels laugh
In my heart she wrote her autograph
What a thrill every time she called me “Honey”
I’m up high on a cloud, I’m so proud
She’s cute, sweet, can’t be beat
Head and shoulders over the crowd
Glory be, she loves me, am I proud
