lyrics

THE GIRL I LOVE

Oooh, shubba, shubba, Oooh, shumba-waya!
Oooh, shubba, shubba, Oooh, shumba-way!
She-doo, she-dah, she-doomba, she-dayo!
Oooh, shubba, shubba, Oooh, shumba-waya!

Oh now, if this is a dream
Don’t wake me now, I beg you please
Don’t shake me now, don’t wake me please
For she’s the girl I love

Oooh, shubba, shubba, Oooh, shumba-waya!
Oooh, shubba, shubba, Oooh, shumba-way!
She-doo, she-dah, she-doomba, she-dayo!
Oooh, shubba, shubba, Oooh, shumba-waya!

Oh now, if this is isn’t true
Don’t tell me now, I beg of you
Don’t tell me now, this must be true
For she’s the girl I love

Her eyes so bright, they light the passage to my soul
I search my mind to find the words to let you know
She’s the girl I love
She’s the girl I need
She’s the girl for me

Oooh, shubba, shubba, Oooh, shumba-waya!
Oooh, shubba, shubba, Oooh, shumba-way!
She-doo, she-dah, she-doomba, she-dayo!
Oooh, shubba, shubba, Oooh, shumba-waya!

She’s the girl I love
She’s the girl for me
No other way to say “Perfection, to and art”
And no expression, save the beating of my heart

Oh now, if this is a dream
Don’t wake me now, I beg you please
Don’t shake me now, don’t wake me please
For she’s the girl I love
