Lyrics
Lyrics:
First verse
There's just one fellow for me in this world Harry's his name That's what I claim Why for ev'ry fellow there must be a girl I've found my mate By kindness of fate.
Refrain
I'm just wild about Harry and Harry's wild about me. The heav'nly blisses of his kisses fill me with ecstacy He's sweet just like choc'late candy, and just like honey from the bee Oh, I'm just wild about Harry And he's just wild about, cannot do without, He's just wild about me. I'm just wild about Harry and Harry's wild about me. The heav'nly blisses of his kisses fill me with ecstacy He's sweet just like choc'late candy, and just like honey from the bee Oh, I'm just wild about Harry And he's just wild about, cannot do without, He's just wild about me.
Second verse
There are some fellows that like all the girls, I mean the vamps, With cruel lamps, But my Harry says I'm the girl of all girls, I'm his ideal, How happy I feel.
(Refrain)
