Happy Madness

What should I call this happy madness that I feel inside of me Some kind of wild October gladness that I never thought I'd see What has become of all my sadness all my endless lonely sighs Where are my sorrows now What happened to the frown and is that self contented clown Standing grinning in the mirror really me I'd like to run through Central Park carve your initials in the bark Of every tree I pass for every one to see I feel that I've gone back to childhood and I'm skipping through the wildwood So excited that I don't know what to do What do I care if I'm a juvenile I smile my secret little smile Because I know the change in me is you What should I call this happy madness all this unexpected joy That turned the world into a baby's bouncing toy The gods are laughing far above one of them gave a little shove And I fell gaily gladly madly into love I feel that I've gone back to childhood and I'm skipping through the wildwood So excited I don't know what to do What do I care if I'm a juvenile I smile my secret little smile Because I know the change in me is you What should I call this happy madness all this unexpected joy That turned the world into a baby's bouncing toy The gods are laughing far above one of them gave a little shove And I fell gaily gladly madly into love Love Love Love Love

Smoochie 02:30
I feel so smoochie When I hold your hand and look in your eyes I feel so smoochie When I touch your lips, then I realize To hold you near Makes rainbows appear And life is just one long kiss While the moon looks down And the stars kind of frown And say, "Golly, look what we miss" I feel so smoochie The night is cool, it's always warm here with you I feel so smoochie A seat for one becomes a love seat for two I know my career Starts and ends right here Right in your lovin' arms Smoochie, little girl me Aw, smoochie, ol' character you I feel so smoochie When I dream all day of lovin' you at night I feel so smoochie Folks might think it's wrong but I know it's right My career Starts and ends right here Right in your lovin' arms Smoochie, little girl me Smoochie, ol' character you I feel, yeah I feel so smoochie

If I expected love when first we kissed Blame it on my youth If only just for you I did exist Blame it on my youth I believed in everything Like a child of three You meant more than anything All the world to me If you were on my mind all night and day Blame it on my youth If I forgot to eat and sleep and pray Blame it on my youth If I cried a little bit When first I learned the truth Don't blame me for falling in love with you I'm under your spell so how can I help it! Don't, don't blame me! Can't you see when you do the things you do! If I can't conceal the thrill I am feeling, Don't blame me. I can't help it if that doggoned moon above Makes me want someone like you to love! Blame your kiss as sweet as a kiss can be And blame all your charms that melt in my arms But don't, no don't blame me.

about

Jazz vocalist LAINIE COOKE presents her latest EP, Happy Madness, due out July 15, 2022 via Truth Revolution Recording Collective. Cooke’s original idea was to create an online comic book with images reflective of the Modern Romance comics of the ‘50s. With that artwork still in process, Cooke presents three songs that reflect the story of feelings one has when in love. Truly a Happy Madness. Boosting her refined musical expression with an all-star band, Cooke sings alongside Miki Yamanaka on piano, Luques Curtis on bass, Lucas Pino on tenor sax and the late jazz giant Ralph Peterson on drums.
