I've Got a Crush on You (муз. Джорджа Гершвина - ст. Айры Гершвина)
I've got a crush on you, sweetie pie All the day and night-time Hear me sigh I never had the least notion That I could fall with so much emotion
Could you coo? Could you care For a cunning cottage we could share? The world will pardon my mush 'cause I've got a crush, my baby, on you
(instrumental)
How glad the many millions of Timothys and Williams Would be to capture me But you had such persistence, You wore down my resistance I fell, and it was swell
You're my big and brave and handsome romeo How I won you, I shall never, never know
It's not that you're attractive But, oh, my heart grew active When you came into view
I've got a crush on you, sweetie pie All the day and night-time Hear me sigh I never had the least notion That I could fall with so much emotion
Could you coo? Could you care For a cunning cottage we could share? The world will pardon my mush 'cause I've got a crush, my baby, on you
