Words & Music by Sammy Cahn & Jimmy Van Heusen
Recorded by Dean Martin, 1960
From the movie "Ocean's 11"


A7   D    A7  G/B A7+5  D
How lucky can one guy  be; 

A7  D        A7  G/B A7+5  D
I kissed her and she kissed me

A7       D           Bm7
Like the fella once said, 

Bm7-5        Cdim         E7
Ain't that a kick in the head?

    Em       Em+7        Em7    Em6
The room was completely black

  Em            Em+7        Em7    Em6
I hugged her and she hugged back.

         Bm7-5          A7
Like the sailor said, quote, 

Bm7-5         Gdim         D      DM7   D7
"Ain't that a hole in the boat?"

    D           B7
My head keeps spinning;

                         E7
I go to sleep and keep grinning;

                       A7
If this is just the beginning, 

Em7       Gdim     D     Cdim A7  A7+5
My life's gonna be beau - ti -ful.

A7   D    A7     G/B  A7+5  D
I've sun- shine enough to spread;

      B7
It's like the fella said,

           E7
"Tell me quick 

A                  E7     A    D      Cdim   Em7   A7
Ain't love like a kick in the head?"



Instrumental Interlude: Lines 1 & 2 of verse


A7       D           Bm7
Like the fella once said, 

Bm7-5        Cdim         E7
Ain't that a kick in the head?



Instrumental Interlude: Lines 5 & 6 of verse


Bm7-5          A7
Like the sailor said, quote, 

Bm7-5         Gdim         D      DM7   D7
"Ain't that a hole in the boat?"

   D           B7
My head keeps spinning;

                         E7
I go to sleep and keep grinning;

                       A7
If this is just the beginning, 

Em7       Gdim     D     Cdim A7  A7+5
My life's gonna be beau - ti -ful.

A7      D     A7 G/B   A7+5  D
She's telling me we'll  be  wed;

       B7
She's picked out a king size bed.

   G                 A7               B7
I couldn't feel any better or I'd be sick;

         G    G/F#    Gm7
Tell me quick,    oh ain't love a kick?

        E7    Bm7-5  A7          Em7     A7   D    A7  Gdim  Gm7  D
Tell me quick,      ain't love a kick in the head?
