I transcribed the following lyrics from the singing of Barry Manilow on his album "Showstoppers," found with Google.


ONCE IN LOVE WITH AMY
Frank Loesser
From the musical "Where's Charley?"

I caught you, sir, having a look at her
As she went strolling by.
Now didn't your heart go boom-boom-boom-boom-boom?
And didn't you sigh a sigh?
I warned you, sir, never to dream of her.
Just bid such thoughts be gone,
Or it'll be boom, boom, boom-boom-boom-boom-boom
Boom-boom-boom-boom from then on.

For once in love with Amy,
Always in love with Amy.
Ever and ever, fascinated by her
Sets your heart afire to stay.

Once you're kissed by Amy,
Tear up your list; it's Amy.
Ply her with bonbons, poetry, and flowers.
Move Moon a million hours away.

You might be quite the fickle-hearted rover,
So carefree and bold,
Who loves a girl and later thinks it over,
And just quits cold.

But once in love with Amy,
Always in love with Amy.
Ever and ever, sweetly you'll romance her.
Trouble is, the answer will be (Ha-ha-ha-ha!)
That Amy'd rather stay in love with me.
