Scotch and soda, mud in your eye, Baby, do I feel high, Oh me, oh my, Do I feel high Dry martini, Jigger of gin, Oh, what a spell you've got me in, Oh my, Do I feel high People won't believe me, They'll think that I'm just braggin' But I could feel the way I do, And still be on the wagon All I need is one of your smiles, Sunshine of your eye, oh me, oh my, Do I feel higher than a kite can fly! Give me lovin', baby, I feel high Oh, people won't believe me, They'll think that I'm just braggin' But I could feel the way I do, And still be on the wagon All I need is one of your smiles, Sunshine of your eyes, oh me, oh my, Do I feel higher than a kite can fly! Give me lovin', baby, I Feel high
