Hip, hop, hoop . . . oh ho ah ha

Hip, I didn't know lips could kiss,
( Hip hip )
Hup I didn't know wives could flirt,
( Hup hup )
Hoop, I didn't know girls could be like
"Tina Marie"
( Hoop hoop
) Hip I didn't know I
could sing, ( Hip hip )
Like a penny boat in a gale . .
.
What she's doin' will be the ruin of
me.
( Oh ho ha ha )
Tina, Tina, Tina, Tina, Ah

You sweet little schemer,
Tina Marie
( Tina, Tina Marie )
Oh what you do,
Your brand of voo do's too much for me .
. .
Tina, Tina, Tina, Tina, Ah

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 )
Hoop, I really was dealin' free till a
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 . . .
( Oh ho ah ha )

( 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

Oh Ho, how I dream of stealin' your

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!
