Funny When You Feel That Way

 

I cant forget how far I fell

When first I fell in love

I had a most sincere attack

Squeezing a lady's glove

 

Her lovely hand was in it

As I waltzed around so gay

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

I thought myself in paradise

It's funny when you feel that way

Again we met one afternoon

As we were all alone

I pumped up nerve to ask if she

Someday would one day be my own

 

She blushed and said go ask poppa

And ask him if I may

I danced a cantor around the room

It's funny when you feel that way

 

It's funny when you feel that way

It's funny when you feel that way

I danced a cantor around the room

It's funny when you feel that way

The old boy said that we might we

And so he crowned my bliss

I shall be a double man

In about a month from this

 

Though it seemed to me somehow the time

Shall never pass away

For I long to hear those wedding bells

It's funny when you feel that way

 

It's funny when you feel that way

It's funny when you feel that way

I long to hear the wedding bells

It's funny when you feel that way
