Blah, Blah, Blah

Blah, Blah, Blah
music by George Gershwin (left)
lyric by Ira Gershwin (right)

I've written you a song, a beautiful routine (I hope you like it.)
My technique can't be wrong:
I learned it from the screen.
(I hope you like it.)
I studied all the rhymes that all the lovers sing;
Then just for you I wrote this little thing:

Blah, blah, blah, blah, moon,
Blah, blah, blah, above;
Blah, blah, blah, blah, croon,
Blah, blah, blah, blah, love.

Tra la la la, tra la la la la, merry month of May;
Tra la la la tra la la la la, 'neath the clouds of gray.

Blah, blah, blah your hair, blah, blah, blah, your eyes;
Blah, blah, blah, blah, care, blah, blah, blah, blah, skies.

Tra la la la, tra la la la la, cottage for two---
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, darling with you!

Tolstoy, Pushkin---love.
Lenin, Trotsky---croon.
Chaliapin---above.
Volga boatman---moon.

Korestchenko, Boris Godunoff---merry month of May.
Balalaika and Rachmaninoff---'neath the clouds of gray.

Nensky, Prospect---hair.
P. Tschaikowsky---eyes.
Borscht and blintzes---care.
Clug zu Columbus---skies.
Utch a chornia, Rimsky-Korsakoff---cottage for two.
Pinya miaspa russky---darling, with you.
