Lyrics

When a girl meets boy
Life can be a joy
But the note they end on
Will depend on
Little pleasures they will share
So let us compare
I like New York in June
How about you?
I like a Gershwin tune
How about you?
I love a fireside when a storm is due
I like potato chips
Moonlight and motor trips
How about you?
I'm mad about good books
Can't get my fill
And Franklin Roosevelt's looks
Give me a thrill
Holding hands in the movie show
When all the lights are low
May not be new
But I like it
How about you?
I like Jack Benny's jokes
To a degree
I love the common folks
That includes me
I like to window shop on Fifth Avenue
I like banana splits
Late supper at the Ritz
How about you?
I love to dream of fame
Maybe I'll shine
I'd love to see your name
Right beside mine
I can see we're in harmony
Looks like we both agree
On what to do
And I like it
How about you?
I'm so delighted
I've ignited the spark within you
Let me continue to make it burn
With you, I will be like a Trilby
So let's not dally
Come on, Svengali
I've lots to learn
When you're arising
Start exercising daily
For example
Just a sample
Bend and touch the floor
Fifty times or more
Huh, a fine start
To be a Bernhardt
A dictionary's necessary
But not for talking
It's used for walking
The Ziegfeld way
Is this okay?
That's the trick
You're catching on quickly
Should I take a bow?
Oh, let me show you how
Just like partners on the stage
Yeah
If you can use a partner
I'm the right age
