Lyrics

Scotch and so da,

oh, what a spell you’ve (Gm7)got me in, oh (F7)my,

do I feel (Eb9)high.

Peo ple won’t be lieve me,

they’ll (Eb)think that (Fm7)I’m (Bb7)just brag ging,

but (F9)I could feel

the way I do,

and (Bb7)still be (Bbdim)on the (Fm7)wag on.

All I need is

one of your smiles,

sun shine of your eyes.

Oh me, oh (F7)my,

Give me lov in’, (Bb7)ba by, (Ab7)I feel high.

peo ple won’t be lieve me,

they’ll (Eb)think that (Fm7)I’m (Bb7)just brag ging,

but (F9)I could feel

All I need is

one of your smiles,

sun shine of your eyes.

Oh me, oh (F7)my,

do I feel (Gm7)high er than a kite can (C7)fly!

Give me lov in’, (Bb7)ba by, (Ab7)I feel high.
