Lyrics

How (F)luck y can one guy be?

I kissed her and she kissed me!

Like the (F6)fel la once said,

(F#dim)“Ain’t that a kick in the (C7)head?”

The (Gm)room was com (Gm)plete ly (Gm)black;

I (Gm)hugged her and (C7)she hugged (Gm)back!

Like the (C9)sail or said, quote,

“Ain’t that a (C)hole in the (F)boat?”

My head keeps (A7)spin ning,

I go to sleep and keep (Dm)grin ning!

If this is just the be (G7)gin ning,

my life is gon na be

bee

u tee ful!

I’ve (F)sun shine e nough to spread;

(Eb7)it’s (D7)just like the fel la said.

(D7)Tell me (B)quick,

ain’t love a (C7sus)kick

in the (F)head?

How (F)luck y can one guy be?

I kissed her and she kissed me!

Like the (F6)fel la once said,

(F#dim)“Ain’t that a kick in the (C7)head?”

The (Gm)room was com (Gm)plete ly (Gm)black;

I (Gm)hugged her and (C7)she hugged (Gm)back!

Like the (C9)sail or said, quote,

“Ain’t that a (C)hole in the (F)boat?”

My head keeps (A7)spin ning,

I go to sleep and keep (Dm)grin ning!

If this is just the be (G7)gin ning,
