As recorded by ART FOWLER:

I've got a clock that wakes me ev'ry morning for my train
I've got a corn that gives me warning when it's gonna rain
I've got a dream that's comin' true
I've got a sweetie in view

Jiminy golly, gosh oh gee
Falling in love and so is she
I haven't told her, she hasn't told me
But we know it just the same

Saturday night on her settee
Oh, what a time there's gonna be
I haven't told her, she hasn't told me
But we know it just the same

She still calls me Mister
But she won't, I know she won't
After I've kissed her

I've got a feelin' soon she'll be
Cookin' my breakfast, wait and see
I haven't told her, she hasn't told me
But we know it just the same

Jiminy golly, gosh oh gee
I'll try to be boss and so will she
I haven't told her, she hasn't told me
But we know it just the same

Saturday night, just wait and see
She'll try to collect my salary
I haven't told her, she hasn't told me
But she'll do it just the same

We don't do much spooning
But we will, just wait until
We're honeymooning

Five little rooms there's goin' to be
That'll include the nursery
I haven't told her, she hasn't told me
But we know it just the same

(Ukulele Solo)

Jiminy golly, gosh oh gee
She's got other boyfriends, two or three
I haven't told her, she hasn't told me
But we know it just the same

Last night I phoned and said "Hello"
She answered and said, "Is this you, Joe?"
Huh, she didn't intend that I should know
But I know it just the same

Now, I don't like to holler
But at her flat was some guy's hat
Necktie and collar

She can't get away with much on me
I'm cheating a bit myself, you see
I haven't caught her and she hasn't caught me
But we know it just the same



ALTERNATE VERSES:

I'm as happy as can be, 'cause I've
Fallen in love with a girl you see
I haven't told her, she hasn't told me
But we know it just the same

I've got a feeling soon there'll be
One little, two little, possibly three
I haven't told her, she hasn't told me
But we know it just the same
