Lyrics
- I don’t envy anyone
But everyone envies me
I’m the happiest boy
I know nothing but joy
I don’t wish for anything
The world has been good to me
I’m contented, I’m so contented
And yet why shouldn’t I be? for
Chorus:
I’ve got the girl, I’ve got the girl
Oh, what a girl, Oh, what a girl
She’s got a smile you’d walk a mile to see
I had a heart, I lost my heart
It had to be, just had to be
She had a heart, she gave her heart to me
Oh, those lips, oh, those eyes, oh! can’t you see?
She’s just the kind of a girl
You’d like your girl to be
Oh! I’m satisfied, so satisfied
Who wouldn’t be, who couldn’t be?
I’ve got the girl, she’s just the girl for me
- I just smile at everyone
And everyone smiles at me
I’m as proud as a king
World don’t owe me a thing
My bank book is very low
As low in funds as could be
I’m so happy, yes, I’m so happy
That you could borrow from me, for
