As recorded by KATE SMITH:


Now look me over carefully
All dolled up from A to Z
Guess you wonder where I'm gonna go

I'm excited, I'll admit
And you don't know the half of it
I'm gonna meet the one that I love so

Hey, hey, clear the way
Looks like this is my lucky day
I'm gonna meet my sweetie now

I can't be annoyed
Am I happy, am I overjoyed
I'm gonna meet my sweetie now

Oh what kissin'
And oh what pettin'
Oh what lovin' I will soon be gettin'

Yay, bo, what a date
Clear the road, I can hardly wait
I'm gonna meet my sweetie now

Now look me over carefully
I'm All dolled up from A to Z
Guess you wonder where I'm gonna go

I wanta tell you I'm excited, I'll admit
And you ain't heard the half of it
Gonna meet the one that I love so

Hey-hey, clear the way

Voo-doo-doo-dee-oh, just can't be annoyed
Am I happy, I'm overjoyed

Oh, what kissin' and oh, what pettin'
Oh, what lovin' I will soon be gettin'

Yaybo, what a date
Here I go, I can hardly wait

(Instrumental Break)

Hey-hey-hey, just got through
Manicure and a good shampoo
I'm gonna meet my sweetie now

Yes indeedy, just got a brand new hat
Brand new this and a brand new that
I'm gonna meet my sweetie now

When I think of how his arms come stealin'
I'm so nervous, girls, you know the feelin'

I'm just nearly wild
Come on, mother, and save your child
I'm gonna meet my sweetie now

That's all!
