I've Got A Crush On You

I've Got A Crush On You
music by George Gershwin (left)
lyric by Ira Gershwin (right)

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. (You've no idea how lucky you are, you little ducky, to get this boy to pet.)
I'm your (you're my) big and brave and handsome Romeo.
How I won you I will never, never know.
It's not that you're attractive---but oh, my heart grew active when you came into view...

I've got a crush on you, Sweetie Pie.
All the day and nighttime hear 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...

I've got a crush on you, Sweetie Pie.
All the day and nighttime hear me sigh.
This isn't just a flirtation:
We're proving that there's prodestination.

I could coo, I could care for that cunning cottage we could share.
Your mush I never shall shush 'cause I've got a crush, my baby, on you...
