'S Wonderful
Tierney Sutton Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't mind telling you, in my humble fash
That you thrill me through, with a tender pash,
When you said you care, 'magine my emoshe
I swore then and there, permanent devoshe,

You made all other men seem blah
Just you alone filled me with ahhhhhhhh......
's wonderful, 's marvellous

You should care for me!

's awful nice, 's paradise,
's what I love to see.
You've made my life so glamorous,
You can't blame me for feeling amorous!

Oh 's wonderful, 's marvellous,
That you should care for me!
's magnificque, 's what I seek
You should care for me.

's elegant, 's what I want,
's what I love to see.
My dear, it's four leaved clover time,
From now on my heart's working overtime,

's exceptional, 's no bagatelle,
That you should care for...

That you should care for...
That you should care for me...

I cannot fathom how they can do this complicated scat singing and remain completely on key and weaving in and out together like there is no tomorrow! I am blown away by the skill exhibited by these two!
