Classic Poem

VERSE

The man who lives for only 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.

REFRAIN

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.
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?
