- TRA-LA-LA Lyrics

Performed by Gene Kelly, and Oscar Levant

JERRY MULLIGAN:
This time it's really love
Tra-la-la-la
I'm in that blue above
Tra-la-la-la
She fills me full of joy
Tell me, papa.
Am I not a lucky guy?
Just listen to my heart
Go pitterpatter
It's started from the start
I've fallen like that [snap!]
Humming, strumming, singing, drumming
What a thrill
I'm getting from it all
La-la-la
La-la-la
This time it's really love!

ADAM COOK:
To me you're fu-full of bla-bla-bla-bla!

JERRY MULLIGAN:
I've got the grandest love,
Dit moi, papa!

ADAM COOK:
Cherchez la femme toujours.
Ooh-la-la!

JERRY MULLIGAN:
She's got but ev'rything-

ADAM COOK:
Is there a doury?

JERRY MULLIGAN:
She's like a breath of spring-

ADAM COOK:
Wow, you'll be soury!

JERRY MULLIGAN:
Humming, strumming, singing, drumming.

ADAM COOK:
Nothing good to happen from the start!

JERRY MULLIGAN AND ADAM COOK:
Tra-la-la-la
La-la-la

ADAM COOK:
[Speaking]
Look, one hand!

JERRY MULLIGAN AND ADAM COOK:
[Singing]
What a thrill
I'm getting from it all
Tra-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la!
