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?
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.
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? "
