THAT'S WHY I'M HAPPY
Herb Magidson / Michael Cleary

as rec by Helen Kane w Leonard Joy & his Band 
March 15th 1929 New York


Oh, I'm in love,
I'm really in love,
This time I mean what I say!
I've found the one,
The only one,
He's got me acting this way!

I love no-one but he,
He loves no-one but me,
We love to be with we,
That's why I'm happy!

I know just what he craves
And he knows just what I crave,
We know but we behave,
That's why I'm happy!

We don't do the things that are wrong,
But ooh, how we do get along!

I do just as I should
And he does just as he should,
We do each other good,
That's why I'm happy!

I love to be alone,
He loves to be alone,
We love when we're alone,
That's why I'm happy!

I like him more each day
And he like me more each day,
We like to be that way,
That's why I'm happy!

We have fun, but we don't spend a dime,
But ooh, how we do spend our time!

I know we shouldn't pet
And he knows we shouldn't pet,
we know but we forget,
That's why I'm happy!
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-happy!
