Song Lyrics

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

Tina, Tina, Tina, Tina ah ha!
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 ah ha!
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 I really 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 ah ha!
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, ah ha)
(Oh how I dream of)
(Stealin' your charms)
I'm gonna marry you
Some day I'll carry you
Off in my arms

(Ho, ho) hip, she tells me to jump, an' I jump
(Jump, jump)
Hoop, she tells me to dance, an' I dance,
Gotta listen or get no kissin' from Tina Marie

(Hip hip) hip, she really did clip my wings
(Clip, clip) hoop, I'm lookin' at weddin' rings
Is it human the things she's doin' to me?
(Ho, ho, ah, ha)

Tina, Tina, Tina, Tina, ah ha!
Oh ho, how I dream of stealin' your charms
I'm gonna marry us
Some day I'll carry you off in my arms

Off in my arms
Oh ho! ha ha!
Tina Marie!
