American Old Time Song Lyrics: 03 It's Funny When You Feel That Way

Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 3

It's Funny When You Feel that Way.

I shan't forget how queer I felt,
When first I fell in love,
I had a most severe attack,
Through squeezing a lady's glove;
But a lovely hand was in it,
As I waltzed with her so gay,
I thought myself in Paradise,
It's funny when you feel that way.

Chorus.
I felt as though I'd tumbled into honey.
And somebody had left me all their money.
The feeling's so peculiar and funny,
Oh! it's funny when you feel that way.

I took her down to supper,
And I sat dowu by her side,
I help'd her to the "niceys,"
And I filled her glass, with pride;
In fact, paid such attention,
That she viewed me with dismay,
For I moved my chair so close to hers,
Oh! it's funny when you feel that way.-Chorus.

When the affair had broken up,
Behind I yet did linger,
Before I tore myself away,
I kiss'd her little finger;
I threw "phantom kisses" at the house,
As I tripped ou home so gay,
I'd have kissed the knocker on her door,
Oh! it's funny when you feel that way.-Chorus.

We met again one afternoon,
And as we were alone,
I plucked up nerve, to ask if she
Some day would be my own;
She blushed and said, " Go see papa
And ask him if I may."
I danced a can-can round the room,
Oh! it's funny when you feel that way.-Chorus.

The old boy said, " That we might wed,"
And so he crowned my bliss,
And I shall be a doubled man,
In about a month from this;
It seems as though the time, somehow,
Would never pass away,
I long to hear the wedding bells,
Oh! it's funnv when you feci that. wav.-Chorus.
