Lyrics
Who’s that knockin’ at my heart?
Why this midnight visit?
Could be someone acting smart
Let me see who is it?
I’m the one that’s stupid
It’s Mister Daniel Cupid
Chorus
Hi-ya Love! Come right in
Where in heaven have you been?
I called but you were never there
Hi-ya pal? How are things?
Flop right down and rest your wings
But take that great big cozy chair
Well you certainly are a treat for these old eyes
What’s new?
What do ya hear from the mob in paradise?
When did you get to town?
See that stardust raining down?
I’ll bet I shook the sky above
They way I hollered “Hi-ya Love”
