The Wild Wild West
Judy Garland Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I am here to state
I'm here to relate
To explain
And make it plain that:
I`m just wild about Harry
And Harry's wild about me
The heavenly blisses of his
Kisses fill me with ecstasy
He's sweet just like sugar candy
And just like honey from a bee
Oh, I`m just wild about Harry
And he's just wild about
He can't do without
He's just wild about me
Oh I`m just wild about Mandy
And Mandy's wild about me
Oh, I`m just wild about Harry
And Harry's wild about me
The heavenly blisses of his kisses
Fill me with ecstasy
He's sweet just like sugar candy
And just like honey from a bee




Oh, I`m just wild about Harry
And he's just wild about me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Judy Garland's song "I'm Just Wild About Harry" express the singer's utter infatuation with a man named Harry, who is equally enamored with her. The repetition of the phrase "wild about" emphasizes the intense passion and desire that the singer feels for Harry. The use of imagery comparing his kisses to "heavenly blisses" and describing him as sweet as sugar candy and honey from a bee emphasizes the singer's physical attraction to Harry. The line "He can't do without, he's just wild about me" underscores the mutual nature of their love and suggests that they are deeply connected and reliant on each other.


The song was written by African American composer Noble Sissle and lyricist Eubie Blake for the Broadway musical Shuffle Along. It was originally performed by Sissle and Blake themselves and became a hit, eventually becoming a popular jazz standard. Judy Garland recorded her version of the song in 1943 for the movie "Girl Crazy."
