Mad about you, mad about me

I woke up one morning with this more or less fully formed in my head and had to get up quickly and write it down. (The same thing happened with 'Not I' on RAK...) I think my subconscious has got into a songwriting groove and just gets on with it without me sometimes...

A twenties-style Charleston!

words and music by Martin Stirrup 2016

(a Charleston!)

A
Everything is cheerful in my part of town
F#m A E Em E2 E
Smiles are turning up and there’s nerry a frown
A
I’m in a fabrous mood and walking jauntily
B E E2 Em E
And the reason why – is plain to see…

A F#m
I’m glad about – it’s getting out
A F#m
Everyone can see
Bm E A (E)
I’m mad about you, you’re mad about me
I think you know – that happy glow
Shines radiantly
I’m mad about you, you’re mad about me
E A6 A
The worlds contented, what can go wrong
B E E2 Em E
Let’s go to the talkies, hear them singing our song…
It’ll never end – I’m going round the bend
In ecstasy..
I’m mad about you, you’re mad about me
