A Wonderful Guy 1949 South Pacific

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 24 May 2005

I expect ev'ry one
of my friends to make fun
of my proud protestations
of faith in romance.
And they'll say I'm naive
as a babe to believe
any fable I hear from
a person in pants.

Fearlessly, I'll face them
and argue their doubts away.
Loudly, I'll sing
about flowers and spring.
Flatly I'll stand
on my flat little feet and say
Love is a grand and a beautiful thing.

I'm not ashamed to reveal
the world famous feeling I feel.

I'm as corny as Kansas in August
I'm as normal as blueberry pie,
No more a smart little girl with no heart,
I have found me a wonderful guy!
I am in a conventional dither
with a conventional star in my eye.
And you will note
there's a lump in my throat
when I speak of that wonderful guy!
I'm so trite and as gay as a daisy in May,
a cliché coming true!
I'm bromidic and bright
as a moonhappy night
pouring light on the dew!
I'm as corny as Kansas in August,
high as a kite on the fourth of July!
If you'll excuse an expression I use,
I'm in love, I'm in love,
I'm in love, I'm in love,
I'm in love with a wonderful guy!

I'm as corny as Kansas in August
I'm as normal as blueberry pie,
No more a smart little girl with no heart,
I have found me a wonderful guy!
I am in a conventional dither
with a conventional star in my eye.
And you will note
there's a lump in my throat
when I speak of that wonderful guy!
I'm so trite and as gay as a daisy in May,
a cliché coming true!
I'm bromidic and bright
as a moonhappy night
pouring light on the dew!
I'm as corny as Kansas in August,
high as a kite on the fourth of July!
If you'll excuse an expression I use,
I'm in love, I'm in love,
I'm in love, I'm in love,
I'm in love with a wonderful guy!
