Mad About the Boy (from the album "Waiter, Make Mine Blues") - Anita O'Day, Russ Garcia, Russ Garcia Orchestra

Mad about the boy,

I know it’s stupid

To be mad about the boy.

I’m so ashamed of it

But must admit

The sleepless nights

I’ve had about the boy.

On the silver screen

He melts my foolish heart

In every single scene.

Although I’m quite aware

That here and there

Are traces of that cared about the boy.

Lord knows I’m not a fool girl,

I really shouldn’t care.

Lord knows I’m not a schoolgirl

In the flurry of her first affair.

Will it ever cloy

This odd diversity of misery and joy

I’m feeling quite insane

And young again

And all because

I’m mad about the boy.
