Lyrics

1. Oh! Boy! Talk about joy, I’m just running wild
Ever since I fell in love with this gorgeous child
I heard a lot about happiness
But never knew till she said “yes”
I’ll tell the world that I know now
Am I glad? And how!

Chorus:
Lucky there she goes
A turned up shiny little nose
To me she’s mighty like a rose
And everybody knows she’s beautiful
Mighty hard to make
But dog-gone mighty good to take
The day that she belongs to me
I’m gonna try to be so dutiful
Marvelous this, wonderful that
Wait until you see
Little bit good, little bit bad
First class company
Gonna get a ring
We’ll see the person in the spring
The bells will ting-a-ling-a-ling
‘Cause every little thing is beautiful

2. Stop! Look! Listen to me, I’m about to rave
Like a kid on Christmas Christmas Day, I just can’t behave
Do I believe in Santa Claus?
You bet I do and just because
I made a wish and looked around
This is what I found
