Lyrics

  1. I’m so happy, I’m near sappy
    Things are shaping up great
    I’m in high and here’s why
    My sweet baby just said maybe
    We’d be naming the date
    So I know we’re all set to go

Chorus
I’m strutting ’round like a trukey
Wanting people to see
I’m that way about baby
And she’s that way about me
I sing the mushiest love song
Kind o’ silly, but gee
I’m that way about baby
And she’s that way about me
We’ve got that certain something between us
Our life is one continual spree
And if it’s true that love is a prison
I don’t want to be free
I’m that way about baby
And she’s that way about me

  1. Ups-a-daisy, I’m near crazy
    Like a kitten I purr
    And why not? I’m all hot
    Got no money, but my honey
    Said that’s nothin’ to her
    Sound that “A”, let’s be on our way
