I've Got My Fingers Crossed 1935 'King of Burlesque'

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 04 Oct 2002

Haven't you heard what happened,
give you my word it happened
like a thunderbolt
it came from out of nowhere.
I only know it's Heaven
How did I throw that seven
there's only one thing wrong
maybe it won't last long.

I've got my fingers crossed
not that I'm superstitious
I'm afraid it's too good to be true.
I've got my fingers crossed
no wonder I'm suspicious
I'm so gay and skies are much too blue.
Don't want no trouble,
with old man trouble,
and that goes double on accounta
because I'm in love.
[Spoken:] Yeah!
I've got my fingers crossed
this thrill is so delicious
I'm afraid it's too good to be true.

I've got my fingers crossed
not that I'm superstitious
I'm afraid it's too good to be true.
I've got my fingers crossed
no wonder I'm suspicious
I'm so gay and skies are much too blue.
Don't want no trouble,
with old man trouble,
and that goes double on accounta
because I'm in love.
[Spoken:] Yeah!
I've got my fingers crossed
this thrill is so delicious
I'm afraid it's too good to be true.

My life has changed completely,
it was arranged quite neatly,
ev'rything I'd dreamed it seemed
came true before me,
I am in Fate's good graces,
She gave me all the aces,
but though I realise
true love is in your eyes.

I've got my fingers crossed
not that I'm superstitious
I'm afraid it's too good to be true.
I've got my fingers crossed
no wonder I'm suspicious
I'm so gay and skies are much too blue.
Don't want no trouble,
with old man trouble,
and that goes double on accounta
because I'm in love.
[Spoken:] Yeah!
I've got my fingers crossed
this thrill is so delicious
I'm afraid it's too good to be true.

I've got my fingers crossed
not that I'm superstitious
I'm afraid it's too good to be true.
I've got my fingers crossed
no wonder I'm suspicious
I'm so gay and skies are much too blue.
Don't want no trouble,
with old man trouble,
and that goes double on accounta
because I'm in love.
[Spoken:] Yeah!
I've got my fingers crossed
this thrill is so delicious
I'm afraid it's too good to be true.
