A-that girl
I'm gonna make her mine
If it takes all night
Can ya dig it, can ya dig it
Can ya dig it, can ya dig it?
A-that girl
I'm gonna make her mine
If it takes all night
Can ya dig it, can ya dig it
Can ya dig it, can ya dig it?
'Good evening, sweet darling
May I ask your name?'
You seem to be lonely
Well, don't worry
I'm feelin' the same
Oh, it's a groovy situation
A spendid combination
That we should meet
At a time like this
Whoa, it's a groovy situation
A spendid combination
You're something that
I just can miss
A-that girl
I'm gonna make her mine
If it takes all night
Can ya dig it, can ya dig it
Can ya dig it, can ya dig it?
A-that girl
I'm gonna make her mine
If it takes all night
Can ya dig it, can ya dig it
Can ya dig it, can ya dig it?
It's been a long time
Sweet darling
Since love has come my way
But I'm tryin' so hard
To find the right words to say
Whoa, it's a groovy situation
An a splendid combination
That we should meet
At a time like this
Whoa, it's a groovy situation
A splendid combination
You're something that
I just can't miss
(bells & horns)
Whoa, it's a groovy situation
A splendid combination
That we should meet
At a time like a-this
Whoa, it's a groovy situation
An a splendid combination
You're something that
I just can't miss
Baby, baby
It's a groovy situation
An a splendid combination
That we should meet
At a time like a-this
Whoa, it's a groovy situation
An a splendid combination
You're something that
I just can't miss
FADES-
Baby, baby it's a groovy situation.
