Lyrics
- Life has just begun
Jack has found his Jill
Don’t know what you’ve done
But I’m all a-thrill
How can words express
Your diving appeal?
You can never guess
All the love I feel
From now on lady I insist
For me no other girls exist
Refrain
‘S wonderful, ‘S marvelous
You should care for me
‘S awful nice, ‘S paradise
‘S what I love to see
You’ve made my life so glamorous
You can’t blame me for feeling amorous
Oh! ‘S wonderful, ‘S marvelous
That you should care for me
- Don’t mind telling you
In my humble fash
That you thrill me through
With a tender pash
When you said you care
‘Magine my emosh
I swore then and there
Permanent devosh
You made all other boys seem blah
Just you alone filled me with Aah
Refrain
‘S wonderful, ‘S marvelous
You should care for me
‘S awful nice, ‘S paradise
‘S what I love to see
My dear, it’s four-leaf clover time
From now on my heart’s working overtime
Oh! ‘S wonderful, ‘S marvelous
That you should care for me
