HOORAY FOR LOVE!
Jimmy McHugh/Dorothy Fields
Originally sung by Ann Sothern, Gene Raymond,
and the entire company of the 1935
RKK Radio Pictures musical comedy movie
"Hooray For Love".
Later by Benny Goodman featuring Helen Ward.
Hooray for love! I’m having fun
Look what it’s done to me
I’m so happy all the day
Hooray for love!
My head is hot, my hands are not
I’ve got no dignity
That’s the reason why I sing
Hooray for love!
I was sad and gloomy
So very hard to please
Your kiss did something to me
Now I’m singing while I’m swinging on the flying trapeze
Hooray for love
I was a tiger - now I’m like a dove
If it makes me feel that way
Hooray for love!
