Boy! What Love Has Done to Me (Extended) - Tommy Dorsey And His Orchestra, Джордж Гершвин

It happened down at the Golden Gate

A fool there was, and her name was Kate

She went and found herself a mate

And she suffered ever after

Of millionaires she had her pick

But she played herself a dirty trick

When she chose that guy whose name is Slick

She’s a sap to love him so

Listen to her tale of woe

I fetch him slippers

Fill up the pipe he smokes

I cook the kippers

Laugh at his oldest jokes

Yet here I anchor

I might have had a banker

Boy!

What love has done to me!

His nature’s funny

Quarrelsome half the time

And as for money

He hasn’t got a dime

And here’s the joker

I might have had a broker

Boy!

What love has done to me!

When a guy looks my way

Does he get emphatic?

Say he gets dramatic

I just want to fly away

But if I left him I’d be all at sea

I’m just a slavey, life is a funny thing

He’s got the gravy, I got a wedding ring

And still I love him

There’s nobody above him

Boy!

What love has done to me!

(scat break)

His brains are minus

Never a thought in sight

And yet His Highness

Lectures me day and night

Oh, where was my sense

To sign that wedding license?

Boy!

What love has done to me!

My life he’s wrecking

Bet you could find him now

Out somewhere necking

Somebody else’s Frau

You get to know life

When married to a lowlife

Boy!

What love has done to me!

I can’t keep my head up

The butcher, the baker

All know he’s a faker

Brother, I am fed up

But I left him he’d be up a tree

Where will I wind up

I don’t know where I’m at

I make my mind up

I oughta leave him flat

Yet I have grown so

I love the dirty so-and-so

Boy!

What love has done to me!
