Pop! Goes Your Heart 1934 'Happiness Ahead'

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 11 Nov 2003

Look here, my pals,
and all you little gals,
don't pretend you'll never fall in love;
'cause love strikes you down like light'ning,
out of the blue above.
Don't ever say there'll never come a day
when you'll get a big romantic kick.
Love is a great surpriser,
Here's how it does the trick:

Quite unexpectedly a lovely face you see
and suddenly, 'Pop' goes your heart
Mmmm
Without a warning word,
a charming voice is heard,
and suddenly, 'Pop' goes your heart,
Mmmm
When life is just a bowl of withered fruit,
so sour and dry,
you just want to cry,
then 'presto changeo' you're in love,
and life is a cherry pie.
You don't amount to much,
then someone's hand you touch
and suddenly, 'Pop' goes your heart,
Mmmm
The clouds of grey roll away on the day
your love dreams get their start.
What if you chance to quarrel,
you'll say 'goodbye' and then
Quite unexpectedly
that lovely face you see
and suddenly, 'Pop' goes your heart again.

Quite unexpectedly a lovely face you see
and suddenly, 'Pop' goes your heart
Mmmm
Without a warning word,
a charming voice is heard,
and suddenly, 'Pop' goes your heart,
Mmmm
When life is just a bowl of withered fruit,
so sour and dry,
you just want to cry,
then 'presto changeo' you're in love,
and life is a cherry pie.
You don't amount to much,
then someone's hand you touch
and suddenly, 'Pop' goes your heart,
Mmmm
The clouds of grey roll away on the day
your love dreams get their start.
What if you chance to quarrel,
you'll say 'goodbye' and then
Quite unexpectedly
that lovely face you see
and suddenly, 'Pop' goes your heart again.

You think you're smart,
and haven't got a heart,
you think you know all there is to know;
and say love is just a pastime,
Oh, no! it isn't so....
I'm telling you and you'll find that it's true,
Mister Cupid's got you on his list,
You'll wake up one bright morning,
and find you ain't been missed.

Quite unexpectedly a lovely face you see
and suddenly, 'Pop' goes your heart
Mmmm
Without a warning word,
a charming voice is heard,
and suddenly, 'Pop' goes your heart,
Mmmm
When life is just a bowl of withered fruit,
so sour and dry,
you just want to cry,
then 'presto changeo' you're in love,
and life is a cherry pie.
You don't amount to much,
then someone's hand you touch
and suddenly, 'Pop' goes your heart,
Mmmm
The clouds of grey roll away on the day
your love dreams get their start.
What if you chance to quarrel,
you'll say 'goodbye' and then
Quite unexpectedly
that lovely face you see
and suddenly, 'Pop' goes your heart again.

Quite unexpectedly a lovely face you see

The clouds of grey roll away on the day
your love dreams get their start.
What if you chance to quarrel,
you'll say 'goodbye' and then
Quite unexpectedly
that lovely face you see
and suddenly, 'Pop' goes your heart again.
