Lyrics
- Everything seems lovely
The world is so serene
When I say things are lovely
You know just what I mean
It means I’ll be happy
No more I’ll have to guess
I feel so, oh, so happy
Since someone answered “Yes”
Chorus
Birds are singing merrily
The sun is shining peacefully
Because my baby don’t mean “maybe” now
When the preacher questions me
I’ll say, “Yes-sir, yes-sir-ee”
Because my baby don’t mean “maybe” now
I just got a little letter just yesterday
Now I feel a little better and so I say
“Life is short and mighty sweet
But I know mine is quite complete
Because my baby don’t mean “maybe” now”
- Everything is rosy
I feel so so and so
When I say things are rosy
I know you know I know
Everything is peaches
The preacher’s on his way
The way I feel is peaches
Today’s a holiday
