Lyrics
I've got sunshine on a cloudy day
And it's cold outside
I've got the month of May
Oh, I guess you'd say
What can make me feel this way?
It's my girl
Talkin' 'bout my girl

I've got so much loving the bees envy me
I've got a sweeter song that I can sing
Than the little birds in the trees
Oh, I guess you will say
Ooh, what can make me feel this way?
It's my girl
Talkin' 'bout my girl

Ooh, ooh
Hey-hey-hey
Hey-hey-hey
Ooh, yeah

I don't need no money
All I need is my babe
I've got all the riches, baby, one big man can claim
Oh, I guess you'd say
Ooh, what can make you feel this way?
My girl
Talkin' 'bout my girl

Ooh, I've got sunshine on a cloudy day
With my girl

Even got the month of May
With my-my-my-my-my-my girl
Talkin' bout, talkin' bout, talkin' bout, ooh
