Lyrics
(From "Follow the Fleet")
I've been a roaming Romeo, my Juliets have been many,
But now my roaming days have gone.
Too many irons in the fire is worse than not having any.
I've had my share and from now on.
Chorus:
I'm puttin' all my eggs in one basket.
I'm betting everything I've got on you.
I'm giving all my love to one baby.
Heaven help me if my baby don't come true.
I've got a great big amount saved up in my love account,
Honey, and I've decided love divided in two won't do.
So I'm putting all my egs in one basket,
I'm betting everything I've got on you.
Chorus
I've tried to love more than one, finding it just can't be done.
Honey, there's one I lied to when I tried to be true to two.
So I'm putting all my eggs in one basket,
I'm betting everything I've got on you.
Writer(s): Irving Berlin
