A light, jaunty love song that closes the first side of Nashville Skyline, sung in the soft croon that marks the whole album.
The words
A playful, grinning tribute to a girl the singer is glad to spend his days and nights with.
The singer sings the praises of a girl named Peggy, cheerfully admitting how much he enjoys her company. There is no conflict and no heartbreak, only a happy man trading a couple of verses of good-humoured devotion. Its bouncy rhythm and slightly old-fashioned, music-hall feel make it one of the sunniest moments on the album. The ending shifts into a slower, mock-grand coda that adds a wink to the whole thing.
