Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Gee whiz, look at his eyes
Gee whiz, how they hypnotize
He's got everything a girl could want
Man, oh, man, what a prize! Oooh ooh

Gee whiz, he's all the joy
Gee whiz, I could find in a boy
He's awful nice, its paradise
I hope I'm not he's decoy

Heaven up above knows how much
I love that gentle soul
Angels sing of a love like this
I hope our love will grow and grow

Oh, gee whiz, I love that guy
Gee whiz, my, my, oh my
There are things we could do
I could say I love you




But all I can say is
Gee whiz!
