[1st verse:] Happy, I'm so happy I could throw myself away Some peculiar something Keeps my heart a-jumping Both night and day Say! Stupid Mister Cupid Went and pierced me thro' the heart I've been fascinated Simply captivated Captured from the start [chorus:] It isn't what he said But the way he said it Made me fall He spoke of wedding bells Until it seem'd the knot was tied He described an automobile And it was just as good as taking a ride The way he spoke of love Set my heart a-bouncing like a ball He told me of a kiss last week So natural, I could feel it on my cheek It isn't what he said But after he said it I had to love him, that's all [2nd verse:] Clever, he's so clever You could never understand Ev'ry word they carry In the dictionary Is at his command And! Peaches are his speeches They're the finest in the land He'll describe a jewel In a way that you will Feel it on your hand
