Chorus:

I've Just found joy, I'm as happy as a baby boy,
With another brand new choo-choo toy, When I met my sweet Lorraine.
A pair of eyes, That are brighter than the summer skies,
When you see them, you will realize, Why I love my sweet Lorraine.
When it's raining I don't miss the sun, For it's in my sweeties' smile,
Just to think that I'm the lucky one, Who will lead her down the aisle.
Each night I pray, That nobody steals her heart away,
Just can't wait until that lucky day, When I marry sweet Lorraine.
