Lyrics[]

[Verse 1]
How lucky can one guy be?
I kissed her and she kissed me
Like the fella once said,
"Ain't that a kick in the head?"

[Verse 2]
The room was completely black
I hugged her and she hugged back
Like the sailor said, quote,
"Ain't that a hole in the boat?"

[Chorus]
My head keeps spinnin'
I go to sleep and keep grinnin'
If this is just the beginnin'
My life is gonna be beautiful

[Verse 3]
I've sunshine enough to spread
It's just like the fella said
"Tell me quick
Ain't love a kick in the head?"

[Bridge]
Like the fella once said,
"Ain't that a kick in the head?"

Like the sailor said, quote,
"Ain't that a hole in the boat?"

[Chorus]
My head keeps spinnin'
I go to sleep and keep grinnin'
If this is just the beginnin'
My life's gonna be beautiful

[Outro]
She's telling me we'll be wed
She's picked out a king size bed
I couldn't feel any better or I'd be sick
Tell me quick, oh ain't love a kick?
Tell me quick, ain't love a kick in the head?
