From Maurice
Chevalier: Encore Maurice! Academy Sound and Vision, LDT, CD AJA 5016.
I'm so happy,
I feel so happy,
Because I'm lucky in love,
Love is all I care for
'Neath the skies above,
Some want money,
And some want glory,
And some think pleasure is best,
Just give me my sweetheart,
You can have the rest!
I don't want to be sitting on top of
the world,
If I have to be sitting alone,
I would rather be humble with somebody
there
Willing to share gladness or care.
I could never be happy if I were a
king
Without her on my throne,
I don't want to be sitting on top
of the world,
If I have to be sitting alone!
No. I don't want to be sitting on top
of the world,
If I have to be sitting alone.
Hmmm, no; I would rather be humble
with a nice little somebody there,
Who would be willing to share gladness
or care!
Heh, really, I could never be happy,
even if I were, if I were a king,
Without anybody sitting beside me
on my throne,
No, no no no!
I don't want to be sitting on top
of the world,
If I have to be sitting alone!
