8 quotes

You are my fav'rite star,
My haven in heaven above,
You are ev'rything I love.

Let's Face It (1941)

Be a clown, be a clown,
All the world loves a clown.
Act the fool, play the calf,
And you'll always have the last laugh.

The Pirate (1948)

Some Argentines, without means, do it,
People say, in Boston, even beans do it.
Let's do it, let's fall in love.

Paris (1928)

What is this thing called love?
This funny thing called love?
Just who can solve this mystery?
Why should it make a fool of me?

You'd be so nice,
You'd be paradise
To come home to and love.

Something To Shout About (1943)

If you want to buy my wares
Follow me and climb the stairs …
Love for sale.

Relax for a moment my Jerry
Come out of your dark monastery
While Venus is beaming above.
Darling, let's talk about love.

Let's Face It (1941)

They say that bears
Have love affairs
And even camels,
We're merely mammals
Let's misbehave.

Paris (1928)
