Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
“Oops!” my heart went “Oops!”
The moment that we met
My heart went “Oops!”
I never will forget
My heart turned hoops
The moment that I met you
“Oops!” my feet went “Oops!”
I nearly took a spill
My knees went “Oops!”
They shook a bit until
My head went “Oops!
You mustn’t let it get you”
I was going for a very what
You’d call a solitary sort of stroll
Just a-twiddling my thumbs
When I heard a lotta drums
Begin to pound and roll
And “Oops!” my heart went “Oops!”
It went into a spin of loop-the-loops
You must have thought me kin
To nin-compoops
The silly way I acted
Of course you couldn’t know
That you were so a-glow
And I was so attracted
But baby take a bow
My heart is going “Oops!” right now
