You Coulda Knocked Me Over With A Feather
DAPHNE:
(spoken)
I don't have the word for what I feel
I just feel more like myself than I have in all my life

(sung)
Tonight in Mexico, Joe I felt something click
Yes I got turned around while all the other girls got sick
I crossed the border, Joe
And thank you for the shove
Because tonight I realised Daphne is my one true love...

And... you... coulda knocked me over with a feather
You coulda knocked this train off its track
For weeks I've had a funny feeling
That something was revealing
Now this geniе's out the bottle and she ain't going back

Yеs I have tried to love many ladies
Back when I sang in a much lower key
Now you could knock me over with a feather, cause Joe:
The lady that I'm loving is me

I love to be belle of the ball
I love the shape of this leg
So tails and tuxes: fare thee well
Cause you can't undo a fall
You can't unscramble an egg
And all that it is chimed, there's no un-ringing this bell!
You coulda knocked me over with a feather
You coulda stole the ice from a cube
For weeks I've wrestled the suspicion
That's come to a fruition
Now you'll never get the toothpaste back in the tube

I hope the girls I knew will forgive me
Cause till I woke up I just couldn't see
But now you could knock me over with a feather, cause Joe:
The lady that I'm loving is me

Yes, the lady that I'm loving is...

You always loved the way that I slapped that bass
And now a spotlight's shining on me
Back home in Illinois
I danced like all the boys
But now I'm riding high
My voice and heels are in the sky

Gerry's always walked behind
And only survived
But now I'm leading the parade
Cause Daphne's arrived
The die is cast it's a [?]
[Spoken]
No more living in the past!

[Sung]
Cause Daphne is free
Daphne is free!
No I couldn't stay in flats if I tried
I know you're finding it confusing
This song that I am choosing
But Joe it's time to blow your horn to "Here Comes the Bride"

So please believe me when I say we're still partners
But now instead of just a duo, we're three
I see that I have knocked you over with a feather, but I know
Daphne is the best part of me - oh yeah
Daphne is who I want to be!
Oh yeah!
