    I can forget how far I fell since first I fell in love, 
                                       A      D 
    I had a most sincere attack squeezing a lady's glove. 

    Her lovely hand was in it as I waltzed around so gay, 
                                  A                        D                    
    I thought myself in paradise, it's funny when you feel that way.

    It's funny when you feel that way, it's funny when you feel that way,

    Again we met one afternoon, as we were all alone, 
                                      A           D 
    I pumped up nerve to ask if she someday would be my own. 

    She blushed and said,  ask poppa and ask him if I may." 
                                       A                        D

    It's funny when you feel that way, it's funny when you feel that way, 
                                       A                        D

    I shall be a double man in about a month from this. 

    Though it seemed to me somehow the time shall never pass away, 
                                           A                         D                
    for I long to hear those wedding bells, it's funny when you feel that way.
