Perry Como - Tina Marie

"Hip, hop, hoop, oh oh ha ha
Hip, hop, hoop, oh oh ha ha

Hip, I didn't know lips could kiss
(Hip hip)
Hop I didn't know eyes could flirt
Hope, I didn't know girls could be
Like Tina Marie
(Hop hop)
Hip I didn't know I could sail
Like a pannyboat in the gale
What she's doin
Will be the ruin of me
Oh ho ha ha

Tina, Tina, Tina, Tina
You sweet little schemer
Tina Marie
(Tina, Tina Marie)
Oh what you do
Your brand of voodoo
Is too much for me

Tina, Tina, Tina, Tina
Oh how I dream of
Stealin' your charms
I'm gonna marry you
Some day I'll carry you
Off in my arms

Oh ho ha ha
Hip, I used to be a good time Joe
(Hip hip)
Kiss a gal and just let her go
(go go)
Hope, hope
I was dealin' free till Tina Marie

Mister Cupid you stacked the deck
Why'd you throw me a queen by heck
Now she's braggin'
She's fixed my wagon for me

Ho ho ha ha

Tina, Tina, Tina, Tina
You sweet little schemer
Tina Marie
(Tina, Tina Marie)
Oh what you do
Your brand of voodoo
