I've got sunshine on a cloudy day,
When it's cold outside I've got the month of May,

I guess, you'd say,
What can make me feel this way,
My girl...(My girl, My girl)
Talkin' 'bout, my girl...(My girl)

I've got so much honey the bees envy me,
I've got a sweeter song, than the birds in the tree.

Well, I guess you'd say,
What can make me feel this way,
My girl...(My girl, My girl)
Talkin' 'bout, my girl...(My girl)

Woo...Hoooooooooo...

(Instrumental Bridge)

I don't need no money, fortune or fame,
I've got all the riches Terri, one girl could claim. Well...

I guess you'd say,
What can make me feel this way,
My girl...(My girl, My girl)
Talkin' 'bout, my girl...(My girl)

Talkin' 'bout, my girl...
I've got sunshine on a cloudy day...(My girl)
I even got the month of May with my girl.

My favorite movie of all time is The Crocodile Hunter Collision Course. Here is what it says on the back of the DVD which I have, of course.

Steve Irwin makes his big-screen debut with his most perilous adventure yet! To save a very large crocodile from poachers, Steve and his wife Terri set out on a death-defying journey through the outback to nab the big fella and relocate him to a safe river. But what they don't know is that the anrgy reptile has swallowed a top-secret U.S. satellite beacon, making them all targets of American special agents! Crikey!
