Buck Up! 1916 Friml - You're In LOve

I'm feeling
well, not exactly jaunty
You look jaunty!
I've promised to meet
my sweetheart's Aunty.
Oh, her Aunty!
You promised you would meet her,
we'll greet her.
What more?
I'd rather meet a lion a cryin' for gore.
I've got to ask permission that I may wed.
She's the physician
I am just as good as dead.
He's going to wed, to wed, to wed!

I feel just like a soldier boy
before he's going in to battle,
he knows it must be done
the fight it must be won,
but you know battles
are far from fun!
I'm filled with strange emotions
far from joy,
I feel my knees begin to rattle
but I am going to fight for love
and that's no idle prattle!
So buck up! Buck up! Buck up!
My boy! Buck up! Hi!

I feel just like a soldier boy
before he's going in to battle,
he knows it must be done
the fight it must be won,
but you know battles
are far from fun!
I'm filled with strange emotions
far from joy,
I feel my knees begin to rattle
but I am going to fight for love
and that's no idle prattle!
So buck up! Buck up! Buck up!
My boy! Buck up! Hi!
