HOLD MY HAND 
(Fats Waller)

as rec by Thomas "Fats" Waller & his Orch   
April 12th 1938


Am I happy, tickled pink?
There's no telling how I feel!
since I met you, I can't think,
I keep wonderin', is it real?

Come on and hold my hand,
Let's dance all night together;
Hand in hand,
As lightly as a feather!
Hold my hand,
There's romance in the weather!
You and me, merrily,
Tip tip tippin' in harmony.

Kiss me dear,
It would be one sweet favour;
Lips like yours
Must have a lovely flavour!
Oh, what a sensation,
You make me feel grand!
C'mon baby, hold my hand!
Hold it, hold it, yes!
