Gershwin's sweet little tune from "Treasure girl": a cunning cottage we could share -- 1928
Speranza
1928
I've got a crush on you sweetie pie
all the day and night-time give me sigh
I never had the least notion that
I could fall with so much emotion
could you coo, could you care
for a cunning cottage we could share
the world will pardon my mush
'cause I have got a crush my baby on you.
how glad the many millions of Annabelles and Lillians
would be to capture me
but you had such persistence
you wore down my resistance
I fell and it was swell
I'm your big and brave and handsome Romeo
how I won you I shall never never know
it's not that you're attractive
but, oh, my heart grew active
when you came into view.
Gershwin -- From: “Treasure Girl”.
