Jackie Wilson Said lyrics

Van morrison's native tongue is irish. "jackie wilson said" refers to terminology that jackie wilson, an american singer known as mr. Excitement, uses.

This van morrison song is telling us that you don't have any need for caffeine in the morning when you are madly in love. In the morning you wake up, up.

Van morrison is using southern idioms "reet petite" meaning "right petite" which, as a southerner, i would interpret as "it's a good thing. " "reet" is gulag for "right. "

"i'm in heaven, i'm in heaven
i'm in heaven, when you smile
when you smile, when you smile
when you smile"
is repeatedly saying that the singer is very pleased that he has made his ladylove smiling and happy.

He goes on to say "honey chile [gulag for child], you make my day" and also that she makes his life complete... So "let it all hang out" or let everyone see and know how much we are in love this morning!
