Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
Never found my life very musical
Just a simple melody.
Love all along was just part of a song
Now it’s a symphony.
Chorus:
Tramping feet with traffic meet
And fill the street with booming and zooming,
In rhythm with the merry beat o’ my heart.
Birds that sing and bells that ring, their voices bring,
The rollicky frolicky tempo of the dancing beat o’ my heart.
It all began the day you smiled at me in such a charming way.
Need I further say, because of you the world is filled with music,
Rumbling trains and roaring planes
Their noise contains the clickity clackity
Drumming, from the humming beat o’ my heart.
Wireless tow’rs that flash their pow’rs
Or thunder show’rs that pitter and patter,
Are sounding to the pounding beat o’ my heart.
And since you’re mine
My love song needs another line with word divine,
That your name will rhyme with while I sing in time with
Ev’ry thumping bumping beat o’ my heart.
