As recorded by ANNETTE HANSHAW:
Now, is there anyone present
Who was ever in love
If so, you know how
I'm feelin' right now
Ev'rything is so pleasant
Sun is shinin' above
If you're in love, gee whiz
Then you know just how it is
When there's somebody who
You can cuddle up to
Ain't that a grand and glorious feelin'
When you're huggin' him there
In that cosy old chair
Oh boy, ain't that a grand and glorious feelin'
Every little kiss
Does you so much good
You're so full of bliss
You just feel like knockin' wood
And when you naturally guess
That he's gonna say "Yes"
Ain't that a grand and glorious feelin'
(Instrumental Break)
When you're blessed with a wealth
Of good name and your health
Ain't that a grand and glorious feelin'
When whatever you've got
You're content with your lot
Ain't that a grand and glorious feelin'
Now, you just go your way
Always nice and kind
Learning ev'ry day
Happiness is in your mind
And when there's nothin' to fear
'Cause your conscience is clear
Ain't that a grand and glorious feelin'
(Instrumental Break)
I got somethin' to say
When that band starts to play
Ain't that a grand and glorious feelin'
That's all!
