HARK IS THAT A CANNON I HEAR
(Jackie DeShannon / Zelda Sands)


Bobby Vee - 1961



Hark is that a cannon I hear
Or could it be my heart 'cause you're a-comin' near
I hear it every time I see your lovin' so fine
So tell me, dear, is that a cannon I hear

Hark is that a cannon I hear
I said although you're speakin' soft, it's comin' loud and clear
I hear it every time that your hand is in mine
So tell me, dear, is that a cannon I hear

I said I hear a boom-boom-boom
A-when you're near goin' all around
I'm not sure if it's in my heart
Because it's makin' such a great big sound

Hark is that a cannon I hear
I said although you're speakin' soft, it's comin' loud and clear
I hear it every time that your hand is in mine
So tell me, dear, is that a cannon I hear

I said a-now I hear a boom-boom-boom
A-when you're near a-goin' all around
I'm not sure if it's in my heart
Because it's makin' such a great big sound

Hark is that a cannon I hear
I said although you're speakin' soft, it's comin' loud and clear
I hear it every time that your hand is in mine
So tell me, dear, is that a cannon I hear

Hark is that a cannon I hear, I think I like it, darlin'
Mmm, is that a cannon I hear, yeah, yeah, yeah
Won't you shoot that boom-boom again
Ah, hark is that a cannon I hear
Ah, hark is that a cannon I hear
