Lyrics
- Feelin’ so happy, Gee! but I’m happy
From my head to my shoes
Laughin’ right at the blues
‘Cause I just got good news
Wouldn’t you feel good, couldn’t you feel good
Wouldn’t you shout hooray
Wouldn’t you feel this way
If you had this to say
Chorus
If the birdies sing like everything in the morning
They’re giving you warning
My baby came home
If the rooster crows his “Vo-de-o’s” every morning
He’s giving you warning, my baby came home
Feelin’ like a two year old
‘Cause she told me today
Hop into the jewelry store
Rings galore, you’ve got ten years to pay
If my lungs hold out I’m gonna shout every morning
To give you the warning, my baby came home
- Runnin’ and jumpin’, my heart is thumpin’
Acting just like I did
When I was just a kid
Going too fast to skid
Feelin’ so windy, doing a “Lindy”
I’m way up in the air
Without a single care
Hollering everywhere
