AN EXCELLENT COPY OF THIS RARE 1958 UK BRUNSWICK 78 FROM BOBBY HELMS 

JACQUELINE  

[CHORUS]
Jacqueline
I'm so in love with you
My Jacqueline
My heart belongs to you
My Jacqueline, oh, won't you
Say you love me too

I got a gal and she sure looks classy
Smooth as a car with a fibreglass chassis
Spicy as a magazine and twice as sassy
Jackie, you're the one for me

[Repeat CHORUS]

When we're alone it's a big temptation
To try for a kiss that's a real sensation
She's got the key to the situation
Jackie, you're the one for me

[Repeat CHORUS]

My baby doll is a real humdinger
She likes to dance to the records I bring her
And when she rocks, she's a real live swinger
Jackie, you're the one for me

[Repeat CHORUS]
