[Verse:]
I never cared about the drama
The drama always got my “hammer”
I came from sunny Alabama
Home of the Minstrel show
I think revues are always “bloomers”
They all depend upon costumers
You can have the plays
That are all the craze
At two dollars a throw
Bend it, bend it, just a little bit
And take it easy, show you’re likin’ it
And lover, you know that we’re gonna hit
The heights cause I’m sure that we’re made to fit
Together just like pieces of a
Jigsaw puzzle, what’s the hustle
Hey look me over, lend me an ear
Fresh out of clover, mortgage up to here
Don’t pass the plate folks, don’t pass the cup
I figure whenever you’re down and out, the only way is up
And I’ll be up like a rosebud high on the vine
Don’t thumb your nose, but take a tip from mine
I’m a little bit short of the elbow room, so let me get me some
And look out world, here I come
I’ll remember you
Long after this endless summer has gone
I’ll be lonely, oh, so lonely
Living only to remember you
Oh, promise me that someday you and I
Will take our love together to some sky
Where we can be alone and faith renew,
And find the hollows where those flowers grew,
Those first sweet violets of early spring,
Which come in whispers, thrill us both, and sing
Of love unspeakable that is to be;
Oh, promise me! Oh, promise me!
