  *++Lyrics:|\\
I shan't forget how queer I felt,\\
When first I fell in love,\\
I had a most severe attack,\\
Through squeezing a lady's glove;\\
But a lovely hand was in it,\\
As I waltzed with her so gay,\\
I thought myself in Paradise;\\
It's funny, when you feel that way.\\
\\
//chorus: //\\
I felt as though I'd tumbled into honey,\\
And somebody had left me all their money,\\
The feelings so peculiar and funny,\\
Oh, it's funny, when you feel that way.\\
\\
I took her down to supper, and\\
I sat down by her side,\\
I help'd her to the "niceys", and\\
I filled her glass with pride;\\
In fact, paid such attention,\\
That she viewed me with dismay,\\
For I moved my chair so close to hers;\\
Oh, it's funny, when you feel that way.\\
\\
When the affair had broken up\\
Behind I yet did linger,\\
Before I tore my self away,\\
I kissed her little finger;\\
I threw "phantom kisses" at the house,\\
As I tripped on home so gay;\\
I'd have kissed the knocker on her door;\\
Oh, it's funny, when you feel that way.\\
\\
We met again one afternoon,\\
And as we were alone,\\
I plucked nerve, to ask if she\\
Some day would be my own;\\
She blushed, and said "Go see Papa,\\
And ask him if I may."\\
I danced a "can can" round the room,\\
Oh, it's funny, when you feel that way.\\
\\
The old boy said, "That we might wed,"\\
And so he crowned my bliss,\\
And I shall be a doubled man,\\
In about a month from this;\\
It seems as though the time, somehow,\\
Would never pass away;\\
I long to hear the wedding bells,--\\
Oh, it's funny, when you feel that way.\\
