Goody Goody

Goody Goody
- Matty Malneck & Johnny Mercer (1936)

So you met someone who set you back on your heels,
Goody goody!
So you met someone and now you know how it feels,
Goody goody!
Well you gave her your heart too,
Just as I gave mine to you
And she broke it in little pieces,
And now how do you do?

So you lie awake just singing the blues all night,
Goody goody!
And you found that love's a barrel of dynamite!
Hurray and halleluyah, you had it comin' to ya
Goody goody for you! Goody goody for me!
And I hope you’re satisfied you rascal you!

Companion Poem:

Walking through town I found a hundred dollar note,
Goody, goody!
So I took it along and put into my tote,
Goody, goody!
Oh all the things I'll buy,
And then they'll all be mine.
Jewelry, dresses, heels, and purses,
My spirits couldn't be so high!

Walking through town I spent my hundred dollar bill,
Phooey, phooey!
The purchased items have long been through the mill.
Where has the money gone?
I guess I must walk on.
Goody, goody for them! Phooey, phooey for me!
And I hope you're satisfied you merchants you!
