Lyrics
Whenever clouds start gathering
To cover up the sun
It really doesn’t mean a thing to me
It seems a tiny miracle
Comes to me on a run
And never fails to bring a remedy
She’s just a little curly headed thing
Who creeps into my heart and makes it sing
Chorus:
Curly top, you little bundle of joy
“Curly Top” you’re like a wonderful toy
You’re just so full of sunshine, folks agree
You could supply the world with Vitamin “D”
Two eyes that make the heavens proud to be blue
Angel cake, it’s just a copy of you
Take ev’rything that’s sweet all rolled into one
That can’t top you Curly Top
