Let’s Be Buddies song lyrics [Panama Hattie]
Let’s Be Buddies lyrics – music and lyrics by Cole Porter, performed by by Ann Sothern, Jackie Horner, Virginia O’Brien, Alan Mowbray in Panama Hattie
Ann Sothern:
What say, let’s be buddies
What say, let’s be pals
What say, let’s be buddies
And keep up each other’s morales
I may never shout it
But many’s the time I’m blue
What say, how’s about it
Can’t I be a buddy to you?
You’ll never know (if an apple is ripe) song lyrics
You’ll never know song lyrics – (1941) Music by Nacio Herb Brown, Lyrics by Arthur Freed, Sung by Ann Sothern in Lady Be Good
You’ll never know if an apple is ripe, ‘til you bite it
You’ll never know if a fire is gonna burn, ‘til you light it
You’ll never know what it means to be blue, ‘til you’ve lost an old friend
You’ll never know how long is your road, ‘til you’ve reached the end.

Review of The Judge Steps Out
The Judge Steps Out is a surprisingly enjoyable drama. A probate court judge (Alexander Knox) is comfortable with his lot in life – but his wife isn’t. She’s far more worried about what “her friends will think” than about her husband. She’s focused on society and position, and their daughter’s upcoming marriage.
