|
|
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 nothing!
|
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 thinking it's no one else but me!
|
Gee, I feel just about ten feet tall,
|
Having a ball! Guess you might call me a Pollyanna!
|
Everybody loves a lover...
|
|
(Instrumental leading to the first four lines and lines 9-12 being sung together in counterpoint. When this is done, the last phrase of the twelfth line is then sung as,
|
"Well, I feel just like a Pollyanna!"
|
|
Then the song concludes with the four lines beginning, "I should worry?"
