Song Lyrics

The man who only lives for making money
Lives a life that isn't necessarily sunny
Likewise, the man who works for fame
There's no guarantee that time won't erase his name

The fact is, the only work that really brings enjoyment
Is the kind that is for girl and boy meant
Fall in love, you won't regret it
That's the best work of all if you can get it

Holding hands at midnight, 'neath a starry sky
Nice work, if you can get it
And you can get it if you try
Strolling with the one girl(guy), sighing sigh after sigh
Nice work, if you can get it
And you can get it if you try

Just imagine someone, waiting at the chapel door
Where two hearts become one, who could ask for anything more?

Loving one who loves you, and then taking that vow
Nice work if you can get it
And if you get it
Won't you tell me how?

Just imagine someone, waiting at the chapel door
Where two hearts become one, who could ask for anything more?

Loving one who loves you, and then taking that vow
Nice work if you can get it
And if you get it
Won't you tell me how?

George Gershwin, Ira Gershwin
