Doris Day; with Frank De Vol & His Orchestra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Everybody loves a lover
I'm a lover, everybody loves me
Anyhow, that's how I feel
Wow, I feel just like a Pollyanna

I should worry, not for nothin'
Everybody loves me, yes they do
And I love everybody
Since I fell in love with you

Who's the most popular personality?
I can't help thinkin' it's no one else but me
Gee, I feel just about ten feet tall, havin' a ball
Guess ya might call me a Pollyanna

Everybody loves a lover

Double-track solo, first verse and the chorus simultaneously
but merging on "Just like Pollyanna"

I should worry, not for nothin'
Everybody loves me, yes they do
And I love everybody
Since I fell in love with
Fell in love with
Fell in love with youuuuuuuuuu





(Call me a Pollyanna, do)

Perfect Pop from a perfect performer; it isn't the Totally Perfect Pop of 'A Guy Is A Guy' or 'Secret Love' etc, but it is a little firecracker .. bursting right out of the nearest Juke Box. ;o)

The brass interlude reminds me of Fred Flintstone raising the roof literally with his bad temper.
