[Boy:] Around my heart
I've got the funniest, honeyest,
appealing feeling,
it came the very day
that I fell in love with you,
revealing a bunch of joy.
I really can't explain the reason why,
what's more, I don't intend to even try;
I know it's there, and on the square,
I'm as happy with it
as a baby with a toy.

Down in my heart,
you've played a prominent part,
right from the start
when Cupid mixed a funny drink,
and the drink, I think
went to my heart,
And now it's bursting apart.
Somehow I feel so good
with my little Venus
nothing could
ever come between us,
Honest, little girlie,
I am strong for you,
'way down in my heart.

[Girl:] Down in my heart,
you've played a prominent part,
right from the start
when Cupid mixed a funny drink,
and the drink, I think
went to my heart,
And now it's bursting apart.
It's jumping all around
like a champagne bubble,
burdened down with a happy trouble,
Honest little fellow,
I am strong for you
'way down in my heart.

[Girl:] Around my heart of late,
I've noticed the most peculiar
something thumping when you're around,
just like the funniest Jumping Jack,
It's jumping on every side.
If you could only look within its doors,
you'd find conditions there the same as yours;
Now all that I can say is,
I'll be so happy, happy,
when the loving knot is tied.

[Boy:] Down in my heart,
you've played a prominent part,
right from the start
when Cupid mixed a funny drink,
and the drink, I think
went to my heart,
And now it's bursting apart.
Somehow I feel so good
with my little Venus
nothing could
ever come between us,
Honest, little girlie,
I am strong for you,
'way down in my heart.

[Girl:] Down in my heart,
you've played a prominent part,
right from the start
when Cupid mixed a funny drink,
and the drink, I think
went to my heart,
And now it's bursting apart.
It's jumping all around
like a champagne bubble,
burdened down with a happy trouble,
Honest little fellow,
I am strong for you
'way down in my heart.
