AT LAST !  I'M IN FIRST WITH YOU
(Country Washburne)

Spike Jones & his City Slickers (vocal: Mixed Quartet) - 1944


Oh I'm first at last, I've always been behind before
You never used to have me on your mind before
I thought I'd always be just a lonely little me
But at last I'm first with you

Well I guess I must have waited `bout a hundred years
And I was aggravated by a thousand fears
I really never felt that your little heart would melt
But at last I'm first with you

Well I was sorta scared that you wouldn't be prepared
That you weren't through runnin' round
Just imagine my surprise when I looked into your eyes
And you promised me that we would settle down

And though we're over newly-wed as spooners go
Way out in some suburban honeymooners' glow
Where I can hold you tight every mornin', noon and night
`Cos at last I'm first with you

(Musical Interlude)

And though we're over newly-wed as spooners go
Way out in some suburban honeymooners' glow
Where I can hold you tight every mornin', noon and night
`Cos at last I'm first with you

At last I'm first,
I'm first at last,
At last I'm first with you
