I'm just wild about Harry
And Harry's wild about me!
The heav'nly blisses of his kisses,
Fills me with ecstasy!
He's sweet just like chocolate candy,
Or like the honey from the bee
Oh, I'm just wild about Harry,
And he's just wild about me.
(Musical Break)
Now I'm just wild about Harry
And Harry's wild about me!
The heav'nly blisses of his kisses,
Fills me with ecstasy!
Say now he's sweet just like chocolate candy,
Or like the honey from a bee
Oh, I'm just wild about Harry,
And he's just wild about, cannot do without,
He's just wild about me.

as rec by Marion Harris w Isham Jones & his Orch August 1922 New York
There's just one fellow for me in this world;
Harry's the name,
That's what I claim!
For every fellow there must be a girl;
I found my mate
By kindness of fate!
Oh, I'm just wild about Harry
And Harry's wild about me!
The heavenly blisses
Of his kisses
Fill me with ecstasy!
He's sweet, just like chocolate candy
And just like the honey from the bee.
Oh, I'm just wild about Harry,
And he's just wild about,
Cannot live without,
He's just wild about me!
There are some fellows that like all the girls,
I mean the vamps with the cruel lamps!
But my Harry says I'm the girl of all girls,
I'm his ideal,
How happy I feel!
Oh, I'm just wild about H-A-double R-Y,
And Harry's wild about me, me, me!
The heavenly blisses
Of his kisses
Fill me with ecstasy!
He's sweet, just like chocolate C-A-N-D-Y
And just like the honey from the bee, bee, bee!
Oh, I'm just wild about H-A-double R-Y,
And he's just wild about,
Cannot live without,
He's just wild about me!
