Berlin Irving
Blue Skies (1946)
Couple Of Song And Dance Men, A
[As sung in film by Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire:]
[BOTH:] In us you see a couple of song and dance men
[BING:] I'm the song
[FRED:] I'm the dance
[BOTH:] For laughter, joy and happiness, we're advance men
[BING:] With a song
[FRED:] And a dance
[BING:] I sing for my supper
[FRED:] I dance for my lunch
[BING:] I croon when the landlord comes around
[BOTH:] For miles around the women and children pass out cold
[BING:] When my voice hits the air
[FRED:] And my feet hit the ground
[BING:] Last night
[FRED:] Out in the moonlight
[BING:] I came to serenade
[FRED:] A very pretty maid
[BING:] I sang her to sleep with "Asleep in the Deep"
[FRED:] That always makes them collapse
[BING:] I saw her eyes close, then she started to doze
[FRED:] But she arose when I sounded taps
[BOTH:]
Which goes to show what women will do when we're around
[BING:] And my voice hits the air
[FRED:] And my feet hit the ground
