a well known toon from a less known operetta: "East is West" 1928 -- by Gershwin -- come to papa do
Speranza
1928
embrace me
my sweet embraceable you
embrace me
you irreplaceable you
just one look at you
my heart grew tipsy in me
you and you alone
bring out the gypsy in me
I love all the many charms about you
above all, I want these arms about you
don't be a naughty baby
come to papa, come to papa do
my sweet embraceable you.
From “East is West: an operetta”. Gershwin.
