Lyrics
- Happy, happy, happy me
I’m full of ecstasy
My heart am thumpin’, jumpin’, bumpin’
Most excitedly
Lawdy, lawdy, lawdy, oh
I want to dance, let’s go
Just can’t control myself
I want you all to know
I’ll soon be
Refrain
Meand’rin’ down the lane with Mandy
Meand’rin’ on a moonlight night
The little stars are blinkin’, ev’rything seems right
When I’m alone with Mandy
Mandy sweet as sugar candy
Someday on her little finger
I’ll place a weddin’ band
There’s not a finer lady livin’ in the land
I want to go on meand’rin’
Holding her hand, her little hand
- Weddin’, weddin’, weddin’ bells
Will bring the colour’d swells
They’ll come a-hustlin’, bustlin’, tusslin’
When the preacher tells
“Brothers, brothers, brothers, hear
And let me make it clear
I joins this lovin’ pair
For ev’ry blessed year to go a-
