I Had a Ball
Love's Grand Waltz: Embraced by Bliss in the Greenest State
Lyrics
Love was hiding around the corner
Love was concealed, but nearby, waiting to be discovered
This lonely mourner heard the call
A person in solitude heard the beckoning of love
Then love found me and put his arms around me
Love found the individual and embraced them
So beat the drums, sound the brass
Celebrate with enthusiasm, play the drums, and sound the brass instruments
Oh, what a groove, oh, what a gas
Expressing joy and excitement, describing the experience as fantastic
Here I come, let me past
Announcing one's arrival, expressing eagerness to move forward
Oh, wall-to-wall, cottage small
Describing a place filled from wall to wall, possibly a cozy home
Enchanted Bliss-ville, in old new Kiss-ville
Referring to a delightful and magical place called Bliss-ville with connections to kisses
Greenest, grandest
Describing the place as the greenest and grandest, possibly referring to an ideal state
Greatest state of 'em all
Expressing the belief that the described state is the greatest of all
If it lasts forever I'll love it
If the experience of love lasts forever, the individual will cherish it
If it's just a lifetime, what of it
Even if it's a lifetime, the person will still value and appreciate the experience
One good lifetime is long enough for singing
A single lifetime is sufficient for joy and celebration
Listen love, I had a ball
Addressing someone, stating that they had a wonderful time
Love was hiding around the corner
Repetition of the earlier theme, love being hidden but discovered
This lonely mourner heard the call
Repetition of the lonely individual responding to the call of love
Then love found me and put his arms around me
Love finding and embracing the person once again
So beat the drums, sound the brass
Repeating the call for celebration with drums and brass instruments
Oh, what a groove, what a gas
Reiterating the joy and excitement of the experience
Here I come, let me past
Repeating the expression of eagerness to move forward
Oh, wall-to-wall, cottage small
Repeating the description of a place filled from wall to wall
Enchanted Bliss-ville, in old new Kiss-ville
Repeating the reference to Bliss-ville with connections to kisses
Greenest, grandest
Repeating the description of the place as the greenest and grandest
Greatest state of 'em all
Repeating the belief that the described state is the greatest of all
If it lasts forever I'll love it
Reiterating the sentiment that if love lasts forever, it will be cherished
If it's just a lifetime, what of it
Reiterating the appreciation for the experience even if it's just a lifetime
One good lifetime is long enough for singing
Reiterating that a single lifetime is sufficient for joy and celebration
Listen love, listen love
Encouraging someone to listen, emphasizing the importance of the message
Listen love, I had a ball
Repeating the statement that the speaker had a wonderful time
I had a ball
Concluding statement, reiterating that the speaker had a wonderful time
