Hi MacTavish,
 
"Eyes that look like heaven, lips like sherry wine
That  girl can sure enough make my little light shine.
I get a funny feelin' up and down my spine
'Cause I know that my Elvira's mine

So I'm singin'
Elvira, Elvira
My heart's on fire Elvira
Giddy Up Oom Poppa Omm Pappa Mow Mow
Giddy Up Oom Poppa Omm Pappa Mow Mow
Heigh-ho Silver, away.

If this is the song you seek, take a look at www.cowboylyrics.com
The song was done on an Oakridge Boys album

The group is the Oak Ridge Boys.  I have a cassette tape somewhere with the song.  I don't know what the original album title was but I think I have it on their greatest hits album.

Yep, the Oak Ridge Boys.  I use to Jazzersize to that song, it was a hard routine.  :o
