Jackie Wilson Said (I'm in Heaven When You Smile) Lyrics

Da, da, da, da, da,
Jackie Wilson said
It was "Reet-Petite"
Kinda love you got
Knock me off my feet
Let it all hang out
Oh, let it all hang out.
And you know
I'm so wired-up
Don't need no coffee in my cup
Let it all hang out
Let it all hang out.
Watch this:
Ding-a-ling-a-ling
Ding-a-ling-a-ling-ding
Ding-a-ling-a-ling
Ding-a-ling-a-ling-ding
Do-da-do-da
I'm in heaven, I'm in heaven
I'm in heaven, when you smile
When you smile, when you smile
When you smile.
And when you walk
Across the road
You make my heart go
Boom-boom-boom
Let it all hang out
Baby, let it all hang out
And ev'ry time
You look that way
Honey chile, you make my day
Let it all hang out
Like the man said: let it all hang out.

Watch this:
Ding-a-ling-a-ling ... etc.

Noone has commented on this song yet?

Good lord have mercy.

This is one of those songs, that I love blaring in the car. Especially on those sunny days, where it's ideal to roll down the windows.

Ahhh.. me too. I can't even count the number of times I listened to this song with my daddy while riding around with the windows down as a kid. (:

This one just makes you instantly break out in a smile and gives you the urge to lean your head back and laugh out loud for no reason.

A little sidebar here, Jackie Wilson is a rather famous singer, especially around Van's time. You probably know him from the song (Taking Me) Higher and Higher. However, that's not to say any of you don't know who Jackie is. Just in case, y'know.

Wow, thanks, always thought it was about Jocky Wilson! (One for the Dexy's fans!)

That may be due to the researcher who arranged for a huge picture of Jocky Wilson (tubby Scottish darts player) to loom over the stage when they played this on Top of the Pops - classic moment.
