BETCHA I GETCHA
(Mort Green / Darcy / Dewey)

as recorded by Kay Starr
with The Lamplighter All Stars
June 15th 1946 Los Angeles


Betcha I getcha very soon,
It won't take a shinin' moon,
Or a guitar and a blue lagoon,
Betcha I getcha sweetheart!

Bet you when I get you you'll jump for joy,
Find my lovin' is a real mcCoy!
As it is now I'm just your toy,
Betcha I getcha sweetheart!

Darlin', you'll find out, my darlin',
Love is a merry-go-round!

Bet you I get you that certain day,
"I love" to the preacher I'll hear you say,
Two little words you should have said from the start,
Betcha I getcha sweetheart!

(scat)

Darlin', you'll find out, my darlin',
Love is a merry-go-round, a-ride around a while!

Bet you I get you that certain day,
"I love" to the preacher I'll hear you say,
Two little words you should have said from the start,
When I getcha I betcha sweetheart!
