Nice Work If You Can Get It

Fred Astaire


Holdin' hands at midnight 
'neath a starry sky 
Nice work if you can get it 
And you can get it if you try 

Strollin' with the one girl 
Sighin' sigh after sigh 
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 takin' that vow 
Nice work if you can get it 
And if you get it, won't you tell me how? 

Holdin' hands at midnight 
'neath a starry sky 
And strollin' with the one girl 
Sighing sigh after sigh 
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 takin' that vow 
Nice work if you can get it 
And if you get it, won't you tell me how
