How About You?

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 at 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 5th 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 arisin', start exercisin' daily.

For example, just a sample?

Bend and touch the floor fifty times or more.

Ha! 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?

A-ho! Let me show you how!

Just like partners on the stage.

If you can use a partner,

I'm the right age.
