He gives in once, he gives in twice,
He gives in three times, he loves to lose his hold on life,
He's the happy old man - the biggest winner in love.
He does not care to even the score,
He says he wins much bigger when he loses a little bit more,
He's a happy old man - world famous winner in love.
Sacrifice as the things are getting better,
It's just to lose his life, hasn't ever seen some better,
But he don't think twice, even if he doesn't get her,
He'll still treat her nice, doing things that won't upset her,
It's a whole lot better,
It's a whole lot better,
It's another blue-ribbon day.
Sings, "la, la, la, la..."
He's a happy old man - world famous winner in love.
Down he goes, catches sadness of his wife,
Down he goes, catches sadness of his wife,
Down he goes, catches sadness of his wife,
Down he goes, catches sadness of his wife,
Kissing, kissing, kissing,
Three times kisses.
And he does not chose to please himself,
And even if it's collared, he's found a higher calling serving someone else,
It's the divine plan, he's the happy old man,
World famous winner in love, (absolutely undiluted, positively undisputed champion)
World famous winner in love, (absolutely undiluted, positively undisputed champion)
World famous winner in love, (absolutely undiluted, positively undisputed champion)
World famous winner in love, (absolutely undiluted, positively undisputed champion)
World famous winner in love.
