"Goody Goody" — Mercer and Malneck's 1936 revenge fantasy.
Writer(s): mercer/malneck
So you met someone who set you back on your heals - goody, goody
You met someone and now you know how it feels - goody, goody
You gave him your heart too
Just as i gave mine to you
And he broke it in little pieces
Now how do you do
You lie awake just singing the blues all night - goody, goody
And you think that loves a barrel of dynamite
Hooray and hallelujah
You had it coming to y'a
Goody goody for him, goody goody for me
I hope your satisfied you rascal you
I hope your satisfied 'cause you got yours
Знаете ли вы, что...
- Written by Johnny Mercer and Matty Malneck in 1936. The satisfaction of seeing someone who hurt you get their comeuppance — "goody goody for you, goody goody for me." The Songbook's most gleefully vindictive lyric, Sinatra delivering the schadenfreude with perfect timing.
