Subject: Lyr Add: AIN'T CHA GLAD (Andy Razaf, Fats Waller)
YouTube has several recordings of this:


AIN'T CHA GLAD? [a.k.a. AIN'TCHA GLAD?]
Words by Andy Razaf; music by Thomas "Fats" Waller. ©1933.

Ain't cha glad
We were were mated for each other?
Ain't cha glad
That we waited for each other?
We agree
Constantly.
Life is just a symphony
Of perfect harmony.

Ain't cha glad
How we get along together?
Ain't cha glad
We can laugh at stormy weather?
Folks declare:
"What a pair!"
They can see we're happy; ain't cha glad?

Just like two lovers
On a picture covers,
In spite of sun or rain,
We find romance.
Ev'ry street we meet is Lovers Lane.

Ain't cha glad
That our kisses keep their flavor?
Ain't cha glad
Ev'rything is in our favor?
Ev'ry day
We can say
Ev'rything is rosy; ain't cha glad?
