Wonder why I'm not myself of late,
I'm feeling strangely great;
I wonder why?
I suppose some genius could explain
Why I walk in the rain;
Just let him try!

I guess
There is a simple explanation,
Unless
I've come up with a new sensation!

It could be
That he's caught up with me,
And all the mystery
I'm speaking of
Is simply that I went and fell in love!

I suppose some genius could explain
Why I walk in the rain;
Just let him try!

I guess
There is a simple explanation,
Unless
I've come up with a new sensation!

It could be
That he's caught up with me,
And all the mystery
I'm speaking of
Is simply that I rang a bell in,
Feel so swell in,
Went and fell in love!
