Jack Gibbons - The Authentic George Gershwin/ Jack Gibbons (2004) by Jack Gibbons (보컬) on maniadb.com

When the mellow moon begins to beam,
Ev'ry night I dream a little dream,
And of course Prince Charming is the theme,
The he for me.
Although I realize as well as you
It is seldom that a dream comes true,
For/To me it's clear
That he'll appear.

Some day he'll come along,
The man I love
And he'll be big and strong,
The man I love
And when he comes my way
I'll do my best to make him stay.

He'll look at me and smile
I'll understand ;
And in a little while,
He'll take my hand ;
And though it seems absurd,
I know we both won't say a word

Maybe I shall meet him Sunday
Maybe Monday, maybe not ;
Still I'm sure to meet him one day
Maybe Tuesday will be my good news day

He'll build a little home
Just meant for two,
From which I'll never roam,
Who would - would you ?
And so all else above
I'm waiting for the man I love.

1st Verse

JIMMY:

I remember the bliss

Of that wonderful kiss.

I knew that a boy

Could never have more joy

From any little miss.

KAY:

I remember it quite;

'Twas a wonderful night.

JIMMY:

Oh, how I'd adore it

If you would encore it.

0h -

1st Refrain

Do, do, do

What you've done, done, done

Before, Baby.

Do, do, do

What I do, do, do

Adore, Baby.

Let's try again,

Sigh again,

Fly again to heaven.

Baby, see

It's A B C -

I love you and you love me.

I know, know, know

What a beau, beau, beau

Should do, Baby;

So don't, don't, don't

Say it won't, won't, won't

Gome true, Baby.

My heart begins to hum -

Dum de dum de dum-dum-dum,

So do, do, do

What you've done, done, done

Before.

2nd Verse

KAY:

Sweets we've tasted before

Cannot stand an encore.

You know that a miss

Who always gives a kiss

Would soon become a bore.

JIMMY:

I can't see that at all;

True love never should pall.

KAY:

I was only teasing;

What you did was pleasing.

Oh -

2nd Refrain

Do, do, do

What you've done, done, done

Before, Baby.

Do, do, do

What I do, do, do

Adore, baby.

Let's try again,

Sigh again,

Fly again to heaven.

Baby, see

It's ABC -

I love you and you love me.

JIMMY:

You dear, dear, dear

Little dear, dear, dear

Come here, snappy!

And see, see, see

Little me, me, me

Make you happy.

KAY:

My heart begins to sigh -

Di de di de di-di-di,

BOTH:

So do, do, do

What you've done, done, done

Before.

The odds were a hundred to one against me
The world thought the heights were too high to climb
But people from Missouri never incensed me
Oh, I wasn't a bit concerned
For from hist'ry I had learned
How many, many times the worm had turned

They all laughed at Christopher Columbus
When he said the world was round
They all laughed when Edison recorded sound
They all laughed at Wilbur and his brother
When they said that man could fly

They told macron
Wireless was a phony
It's the same old cry
They laughed at me wanting you
Said I was reaching for the moon
But oh, you came through
Now they'll have to change their tune

They all said we never could be happy
They laughed at us and how!
But ho, ho, ho!
Who's got the last laugh now?
They all laughed at Rockefeller center
Now they're fighting to get in
They all laughed at Whitney and his cotton gin
They all laughed at Fulton and his steamboat
Hershey and his chocolate bar

Ford and his lizzie
Kept the laughers busy
That's how people are
They laughed at me wanting you
Said it would be, "hello, goodbye."
But oh, you came through
Now they're eating humble pie

They all said we'd never get together
Darling, let's take a bow
For ho, ho, ho!
Who's got the last laugh?
He, hee, hee!
Let's at the past laugh
Ha, ha, ha!
Who's got the last laugh now? "

The man who only live for making money
Lives a life that isn't necessarily sunny;
Likewise the man who works for fame --
There's no guarantee that time won't erase his name
The fact is
The only work that really brings enjoyment
Is the kind that is for girl and boy meant.
Fall in love -- you won't regret it.
That's the best work of all -- if you can get it.
Holding hands at midnight
'Neath a starry sky...

Oh that is nice work if you can get it.
And you can get it -- if you try.
Strolling with the one girl
Sighing sigh after sigh...
Oh nice work if you can get it.
And you can get it -- if you try.

Just imagine someone
Waiting at the cottage door.
Where two hearts become one...
Who could ask for anything more?

Loving one who loves you,
And then taking that vow...
Nice work if you can get it,
And if you get it --

Won't you tell me how?

And you can get it -- if you try.
And you can get it -- if you try.
And you can get it -- if you try.
And you can get it -- if you try

Holding hands at midnight
'Neath a starry sky...
Nice work if you can get it
And you can get it -- if you try.
Strolling with the one girl
Sighing sigh after sigh...
Nice work if you can get it
And you can get it -- if you try
Who could ask for anything more?
