When I see my baby What do I see Poetry Poetry in motion Poetry in motion Walkin' by my side Her lovely locomotion Keeps my eyes open wide Poetry in motion See her gentle sway A wave out on the ocean Could never move that way I love every movement And there's nothing I would change She doesn't need improvement She's much too nice to rearrange Poetry in motion Dancing close to me A flower of devotion A swaying gracefully Whoa Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa Whooooooooa Poetry in motion See her gentle sway A wave out on the ocean Could never move that way I love every movement There's nothing I would change She doesn't need improvement She's much too nice to rearrange Poetry in motion All that I adore No number-nine love potion Could make me love her more Whoa Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

Johnny Tillotson (born April 20, 1939 in Jacksonville, Florida; raised in Palatka, Florida) is an American singer and songwriter. While still in high school, Tillotson was making records and performing on stage; as a student at the University of Florida, he had his own musical variety show on regional television. Following graduation in 1959 with a Bachelor's Degree in Journalism and Communications, he signed with Cadence Records and moved to New York City to pursue his music career. In 1960, he recorded his first hit, a composition entitled "Poetry in Motion" (written by Anthony/Kaufman), that went to #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the U.S. and #1 on the UK Singles Chart. A "crossover" artist, several of Tillotson's songs were successful on both the country music charts and pop charts. He earned a Grammy Award nomination for another of his own compositions, "It Keeps Right On a-Hurtin," and also for the song "Heartaches by the Number," nominated for Best Vocal Performance of 1965. He also appeared in the 1963 film Just for Fun and sang the theme song for the 1965 Sally Field television comedy Gidget. In a career spanning more than 40 years, Tillotson has recorded 26 singles that made it onto Billboard's charts, and performed at venues across the United States and other places around the globe. He was featured in the 1966 camp comedy The Fat Spy starring Jayne Mansfield, Jack E. Leonard, Phyllis Diller, Brian Donlevy and Jordan Christopher & the Wild Ones. This film was featured in the 2004 documentary The 50 Worst Movies Ever Made (#46).
