As recorded by PAUL SMALL with Red & His Big Ten (the band

For the first time 
Love came to me
Chills go through me
At last I'm happy

For the first time
Lips are near me
Arms that cheer me
At last I'm happy

Blues are gone
Love's in the air
>From now on
Say, what do I care

For the first time
I'm romancing
Feel like dancing
At last I'm happy

As recorded by TED LEWIS & HIS BAND:


Say, you know, for the first time 
Love came to me
Oh, the chills go through me
At last I'm happy

Oh, for the first time
Those lips are near mine
And the arms that cheer me
Ah, say boy, I'm happy

You know, the blues, they're gone
And there's love in the air
Oh, from now on
Hah-hah-hah, what do I care

For the first time
I'm romancing, whoopee
I feel like dancing
At last I'm happy, yes sir

(Instrumental Break)

Ah, sayin' for the first time
I, the dispenser of the blues
Have come to bring you joy, good news
At last I'm happy

I, the inventor of good cheer for the first time
I'm serving it to you here
Oh, I wanta tell you, folks
Oh, I'm happy

Come on, let's all have a little smile
What of the sunshine behind
Don't worry, in a little while
You'll all be satisfied

And again for the first time
Come right in
Oh, I got ya smilin'
Boy, now I'm happy
