All Alone Monday lyrics
I Wanna Be Loved by You was one of Marilyn Monroe’s most famous musical performances is her singing it in Billy Wilder’s classic farce Some Like It Hot. The song was first performed in late 1928 by Helen Kane, who became known as the — Boop-Boop-a-Doop Girl’ because of her baby-talk, scat-singing tag line to that song. It was written by Herbert Stothart and Harry Ruby, with lyrics by Bert Kalmar, for the 1928 musical Good BoyI Wanna Be Loved by You lyrics
When the shades of night are falling
Tennessee, I hear you calling;
My thoughts just roam
Back to home, sweet home.
Every day my heart grows fonder,
Of the folks I left down yonder;
I wonder when I’ll be there again.
(sung in Three Little Words, starring Fred Astaire and Red Skelton)
Lonesome Johnnie Warner, sitting in a corner
of a swell cafe, eating his heart away
because he had no girl,
at another table, sat a girl named Mable
with a fellow who Johnnie knew and his brain began to whirl
The girl had caught his eye and John began to cry.
