I'm with you, Don. I learned it from Pat Boone, and I like the way he sings it. Except for the bah hoo hoo hoo hoo at the end. I don't sing that.

In the version above, I wrote this line:

   Just looking for my baby, so good, so fine, so sweet.

The line in the Internet version didn't scan and didn't rhyme. I didn't feel like fiddling with it to make it work, so I wrote my own. If it reminds you of a line from St James' Infirmary, it's on purpose.
