Ira Gershwin

Embrace me, my sweet embraceable you!
Embrace me, you irreplaceable you!

Just one look at you
My heart grew tipsy in me,
You and you alone
Bring out the Gypsy in me!

I love all, the many charms about you!
Above all, I want my arms about you!

Don't be a naughty baby,
Come to papa, come to papa, do!
My sweet embraceable you!

Someday 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
Then in a little while
He'll take my hand
And though it seems absurd
I know we both won't say a word

Maybe he'll come Sunday
Maybe Monday, maybe not
Still I'm sure he'll come one day
Maybe Tuesday will be
My good news day

We'll built a little home
Just meant for two
From which I'll never roam
Oh, what would you
And so all else above
I'm dreaming of the man I love

It's very clear
Our love is here to stay
Not for a year
But ever and a day
The radio
And the telephone
And the movies that we know
May just be passing fancies
And in time may go
But oh my dear
Our love is here to stay
Together we're
Going a long long way
In time the rockies
may crumble
Gibraltar may tumble
They're only made of clay but
Our love is here to stay

And the telephone
And the movies that we know
May just be passing fancies
And in time may go
But oh my dear
Our love is here to stay
Together we're
Going a long long way
In time the rockies
may crumble
Gibraltar may tumble
They're only made of clay but
Our love is here to
Our love is here to
Our love is here to stay

There's a saying old
Says that love is blind,
Still we're often told,
"Seek and ye shall find."
So I'm going to seek
A certain lad
I've had in mind.Looking ev'rywhere,
Haven't found him yet;
He's the big affair
I cannot forget.
Only man I ever
Think of with regret.I'd like to add his initial to my monogram.
Tell me, where is the shepherd for this lost lamb?There's a somebody I'm longing to see.
I hope that he
Turns out to be
Someone who'll watch over me.I'm a little lamb who's lost in the wood.
I know I could
Always be good
To one who'll watch over me.Although he may not be the man some
Girls think of as handsome,
To my heart he carries the key.
Won't you tell him please to put on some speed,
Follow my lead,
Oh, how I need
Someone to watch over me.

Summertime, and the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin' and the cotton is high
Oh, your daddy's rich and your ma is good-lookin'
So hush little baby, Don't you cryOne of these mornings you're gonna rise up singing
And you'll spread your wings and you'll take to the sky
But 'til that morning, there ain't nothin' can harm you
With Daddy and Mammy standin' byOne of these mornings you're gonna rise up singing
And you'll spread your wings and you'll take to the sky
But 'til that morning, there ain't nothin can harm you
With Daddy and Mammy standin' by

Sporting life
That's the thing, ain' it? an' membuh there's.
Where that come from. listen: there's a boat dat's
Leavin' soon for new york. come wid me, dat's where
We belong, sister.
You an' me kin live dat high life in new york.
Come wid me, dere you can't go wrong, sister.
I'll buy you de swellest mansion
Up on upper fi'th avenue
An' through harlem we'll go struttin',
We'll go astruttin',
An' dere'll be nuttin'
Too good for you.
I'll dress you in silks and satins
In de latest paris styles.


And de blues you'll be forgettin',
You'll be forgettin',
There'll be no frettin'
Jes nothin' but smiles.
Come along wid me, hey dat's de place,
Don't be a fool, come along, come along.
There's a boat dat's leavin' soon for new york
Come wid me, dat's where we belong, sister,
Dat's where we belong! come on, bess!

Bess
You low, crawlin' hound! get away from my door, I tells
You, leave it, you rattlesnake. dat's what you is,
A rattlesnake!

There's a saying old
Says that love is blind
Still we're often told
Seek and ye shall find
So I'm going to seek
A certain lad
I've had in mind

Looking everywhere
Haven't found him yet
He's the big affair
I cannot forget
Only man I ever think
Of with regret

I'd like
To add his inital
To my monogram
Tell me
Where is the shepherd
For this lost lamb?

There's a somebody
I'm longin' to see
I hope that he turns
Out to be
Someone to watch over me

I'm a little lamb
Who's lost in the wood
I know I could
Always be good
To one
Who'll watch over me

Although he may
Not be the man some
Girls think
Of as handsome
To my heart
He carries the key

Won't you tell him please
To put on some speed
Follow my lead
Oh, how I need
Someone to watch over me

Won't you tell him please
To put on some speed
Follow my lead
Oh, how I need
Someone to watch over me
Someone to watch over me

The way you wear your hat
The way you sip your tea
The memory of all that
No, no they can't take that away from me
The way your smile just beams
The way you sing off key
The way you haunt my dreams
No, no they can't take that away from me

We may never, never meet again
On the bumpy road to love
Though I'll always, always keep the memory of

The way you hold your knife
The way we danced 'till three
The way you changed my life
No, no they can't take that away from me
No, they can't take that away from me

They're writing songs of love, but not for me
A lucky star's above, but nor for me
With love to lead the way, I've found more clouds of gray
than any Russian play could guarantee

I was a fool to fall and get that way,
Heigh-ho! Alas! and also, lack-a-day!
Although I can't dismiss the mem'ry of her kiss
I guess she's not for me
