(Words & music by Pomus - Meade June 1964)
Girl happy, yes I'm girl happy, Every girl I see looks good to me Every time I see a pretty face I've been like this since I was just a baby boy I've been like this since I was just a baby boy
Elvis Presley's seventeenth film was the 1965 MGM movie Girl Happy, whose setting was the annual spring break festivities on the beaches of Fort Lauderdale, Florida
Elvis portrays Chicago club singer Rusty Wells, who, when not wowing the crowds, has the added task of watching over the overly exuberant daughter of his mob boss (Harold J. Stone) while she’s on vacation in Fort Lauderdale. Shelley Fabares, Presley’s favorite leading lady and a singing star in her own right (her 1962 tune Johnny Angel was a #1 hit), plays the daughter. And the lively songs include 'Do the Clam', 'Puppet on a String', the title tune and eight others. Also featured are Mary Ann Mobley and Gary Crosby.
Elvis Presley is in fine form as singer Rusty Wells, who is hired by Big Frank to watch over his daughter, Val (Shelley Fabares), while on her first girly holiday. Much mayhem ensues when heart throb Romano tries his luck with the hapless girl, and Elvis et all have to intervene. Heavens Gates Divisions
Girl happy, can't you see
What a crazy way out way to be
I love a life of nothing but beautiful women
Well I'm Girl happy, yes I'm girl happy,
Girl happy, can't you see
My heart just heads for outer space
I need a girl to make my life worth livin'
Yes, I'm Girl happy, yes I'm girl happy,
Girl happy, can't you see
First nurse that ever rocked my cradle made me jump for joy
Mama keep your daughter out of sight
I'm in a lovin' mood tonight
I love a life of nothing but beautiful women
Well I'm Girl happy, yes I'm girl happy,
Girl happy, can't you see
First nurse that ever rocked my cradle made me jump for joy
Girl happy, well I'm girl happy,
Yes I'm girl happy, can't you see
Girl happy, said I'm girl happy,
Yes I'm girl happy, can't you see
