Lyrics
Girl happy, yes, I’m girl happy
Girl happy, can’t you see? (girl happy, girl, girl happy)
Every girl I see looks good to me
What a crazy way I’m way to be
I love a life of nothing but beautiful women
Well, I’m girl happy, yes, I’m girl happy
Girl happy, can’t you see? (girl happy, girl, girl happy)
Every time I see a pretty face (girl happy, girl, girl happy)
My heart just heads for outer space (girl happy, girl, girl happy)
I need a girl to make my life worth of living
Yes, I’m girl happy, yes, I’m girl happy
Girl happy, can’t you see? (girl happy, girl, girl happy)
I’ve been like this since I was just a baby boy
First nurse that rocked my cradle made me jump for joy
Mamma, keep your daughter out of sight (girl happy, girl, girl happy)
I’m in a lovin’ mood tonight (girl happy, girl, girl happy)
I love a life of nothing but beautiful women
Well, I’m girl happy, yes, I’m girl happy
Girl happy, can’t you see? (girl happy, girl, girl happy)
I’ve been like this since I was just a baby boy
First nurse that rocked my cradle made me jump for joy
Girl happy, well, I’m girl happy
Yes, I’m girl happy, can’t you see? (girl happy, girl, girl happy)
Girl happy, said I’m girl happy
Yes, I’m girl happy, can’t you see?
