HOW ABOUT YOU

(Mickey Rooney's lines are in italics)

When a girl meets boy
Life can be a joy
But the note they end on
Will depend on little pleasures
They will share
So let us compare

I like New York in June
How about you?
I like a Gershwin tune
How about you?
I love a fireside
When a storm is due
I like potato chips
Moonlight and motor trips
How about you?

I'm mad about good books-
Can't get my fill
And Franklin Roosevelt's looks
Give me a thrill
Holding hands in the movie show
When all the lights are low
May not be new
But I like it, how about you?

I like Jack Benny's jokes
To a degree
I love the common folks
That includes me
I like to window shop on 5th Avenue
I like banana splits
Late supper at the Ritz
How about you?

I love to dream of fame
Maybe I'll shine
I'd love to see your name
Right beside mine
I can see we're in harmony
Looks like we both agree
On what to do
*And I like it - how about you?*

I'm so delighted, I've ignited
The spark within you
Let me continue to make it burn
With you I will be like a Trilby
So let's not dally, come on, Svengali
I've lots to learn!

When you're arisin', start excersisin daily
For example, just a sample?
Bend and touch the floor
Fifty times or more
Huh- A fine start to be a Bernhardt!
A dictionary's necessary, but not for talking!
It's used for walking the Ziegfield way
Is this okay?
That's the trick, you're catching on quickly
Should I take a bow?
A-ho, let me show you how!
Just like partners on the stage
If you can use a partner, I'm the right age.
