Lyrics
I often used to wonder what the fuss was all about,
When they told me how exciting love could be,
And I used to smile politely tho’ I hadn’t any doubt,
It was something that would never bother me.
Then all at once it happened like a bolt from out the blue,
And it hit me and it knocked me nearly flat, and that was that.

Chorus:
Beat the drum, bang the gong, let the golden wedding bells chime,
My heart’s a flutter I’m walking on air, I’m in love for the very first time.
Turn me loose, set me free, I’ve no use for reason or rhyme,
I’m hazy crazy but what do I care, I’m in love for the very first time.
I thought that I was freeer than a birdie in the sky
Then you passed by and wham! Before I knew it
I was really going thro’ it
Like a fish on a hook with that dreamy faraway look.
I’m mad as a hatter But what does it matter
Let me live and love and laugh and be merry
I’m in love for the very first time.

Interlude:
And what a lovely feeling Sort of floating to the ceiling
Like a bubble or a toy balloon And it’s a lot of fun
When the day is done And you’re sitting under the moon
And isn’t it surprising that your temp’rature keeps risin’,
Tho’ the weather may be cold and grey and though the sun has gone
No matter what goes on It’s a lovely, lovely day
