1938 MT 87 Complete on Columbia v.4 17 2’29”

I’m havin’ myself a time
I mean I’m havin’ what I want
Wanting what I have
Doing what I like
And liking what I do
And I’m havin’ myself a time

I never could save a dime
And so I’m living like a lord
Acting like a loon
Lying in the sun
And sighing in the moon
And I’m havin’ myself a time

When I hum songs
They’re all dumb songs
Without reason nor rhyme

But I’m certainly in my prime
I mean I’m happy as a bird, flying up above
Walk a little love and get a little love
And I’m havin’ myself a time

(bridge)

But I’m certainly in my prime
I mean I’m happy as a bird, flying up above
Walk a little love and get a little love
And I’m havin’ myself a time

I’m havin’ myself a time
I mean I’m havin’ what I want
Wanting what I have
Doing what I like
And liking what I do
And I’m havin’ myself a time

I never could save a dime
And so I’m living like a lord
Acting like a loon
Lying in the sun
And sighing in the moon
And I’m havin’ myself a time

When I hum songs
They’re all dumb songs
Without reason nor rhyme

But I’m certainly in my prime
I mean I’m happy as a bird, flying up above
Want a little love and get a little love
And I’m havin’ myself a time

(bridge)

But I’m certainly in my prime
I mean I’m happy as a bird, flying up above
Want a little love and get a little love
And I’m havin’ myself a time
