How About You

Cecilia Dale


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 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 ok?
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
