Lyrics
- A boy and girl were walking
Oh! walking, yes walking
And as they stood there talking
He stole a little kiss
The girlie started gigg’ling
Oh! gigg’ling, yes giggling
And as the boy stood wiggling
He shyly told her this
Chorus
“Oh! Gee, Oh! Gosh, Oh! Golly I’m in love
Oh Gee! Oh Gosh! It’s you I’m thinking of
I love to hold your teeny weeny hand in mine
I get a piggly wiggly feeling down my spine
Oh me! Oh my! Oh how I’d love to kiss
I swear that home could never be like this
You’ve got all my nerves unstrung
Let’s be foolish while we’re young
Oh! Gee, Oh! Gosh, Oh Golly I’m in love”
- He went home to his mother
His mother, his mother
They looked at one another
And then he bowed his head
She said, “You look suspicious
Suspicious, suspicious
What ails you, Aloyisius?”
He raised his eyes and said
Chorus
“Oh! Gee, Oh! Gosh, Oh! Golly I’m in love
Oh Gee! Oh Gosh! It’s her I’m thinking of
I love to feel her hairnet on my manly chin
No wonder I use Cuticura for my skin
Oh gee! Oh gosh! Oh how I’d love to fly
And float among the clouds up in the sky
When the preacher says, “You’re one”
Holy Gee! won’t we have fun
Oh! Gee, Oh! Gosh, Oh Golly I’m in love”
