Lyrics

Jackie Wilson Said

[Intro]

Da-da da da da, da-da da da da

Da-da da da da, da-da da da da

[Verse 1]

Jackie Wilson said it was "Reet-Petite"

Kind of love you got knock me off my feet

Let it all hang out

Ooh, let it all hang out

[Verse 2]

And I'm so wired up

Don't need no coffee in my cup

Let it all hang out

Oh, let it all hang out

Watch this

[Pre-Chorus]

Shing-a-ling-a-ling, ding-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling

Shing-a-ling-a-ling, ding-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling

Let it all hang out

Let it all hang out

[Chorus]

I'm in heaven, I'm in heaven

I'm in heaven when you smile, when you smile

[Verse 3]

And when you walk across the room

It makes my heart go boom, boom, boom

Let it all hang out

Let it all hang out

[Verse 4]

And every time you look my way

Honey child, you know you make my day

Let it all hang out

And like the man said, let it all hang out

[Pre-Chorus]

Shing-a-ling-a-ling, ding-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling

Shing-a-ling-a-ling, ding-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling

Let it all hang out

Let it all hang out

[Chorus]

I'm in heaven, I'm in heaven

I'm in heaven when you smile, when you smile

I'm in heaven, I'm in heaven

I'm in heaven when you smile, when you smile

I'm in heaven, I'm in heaven

I'm in heaven when you smile, when you smile

[Scatting]

[Outro]

Like Jackie Wilson said

I'm in heaven when you smile
