Classic Poem

(with Billy Rose)

  VERSE 1

I saw you strolling by your solitary.
Am I nosey? Very, very.
I'd like to bet a juicy huckleberry
What you're after is a gal.
We're both in luck, for introductions are not necessary.

  REFRAIN

Mm mm mm Would you like to take a walk?
Mm mm mm Do you think it's gonna rain?
Mm mm mm How about a sasparilla?
Gee, the moon is yeller;
Sump'n good'll come from that.
Mm mm mm Have you heard the latest song?
Mm mm mm It's a very pretty strain.
Mm mm mm Don't you feel a little thrilly?
Gee, it's getting chilly;
Sump'n good'll come from that.
When you're strolling through the wherezis,
You need a whozis
To lean upon.
But when you have no whozis,
To hug and whatzis,
Gosh darn!
Mm mm mm Would you like to take a walk?
Mm mm mm Do you think it's gonna rain?
Mm mm mm Ain't you tired of the talkies?
I prefer the walkies.
Sump'n good'll come from that.

  VERSE 2

My little heart is full of palpitation.
What I need is consolation.
I'd like to stage a little celebration
In the moonlight right away.
I'll feel all pep't if you'll accept my friendly invitation.
