Verse 1:

Dm           A7
I'm as happy as a king
Dm      Bb7    A7
Feel-in good n'every thing
Dm              Bb7
I'm just like a bird in spring
Dm     Bb7    A7
Got to let is out

Dm              A7
It's my sweetie can't you guess?
Dm     Bb7       A7
Wild a-bout her, I'll confess
Dm                Bb7
Does she love me? Oh my! yes
Dm          Bb7   A7
That's just why I shout

Verse 2:

Dm             A7
Every where my baby goes
Dm         Bb7    A7
Dressed up in the swellest clothes
Dm               Bb7
She just vamps a gang of beaux
Dm         Bb7       A7
But that's all bush-'wa

Dm              A7
They all try to set a pace
Dm      Bb7        A7
Just to see who'll be the ace
Dm                 Bb7
Then she puts them in their place
Dm        Bb7    A7
When they go too far
