Let's Kiss And Make Up

Let's Kiss And Make Up
music by George Gershwin (left)
lyric by Ira Gershwin (right)

I didn't mean to start a scene to make you sigh.
Hope to die!
It's most immoral for us to quarrel.
Why can't we both agree?
Don't you know Ben Franklin wrote about this thing at length---
On the proposition that in union there is strength?
Why raise a storm up?
If we just warm up, the blues will slumber;
We'll have their number!

Let's kiss and make up; come on! Let's wake up,
For I need you and you need me.
Let's kiss and make up; no use to break up when we can live in harmony.

I'll give you your way, you'll give me my way, and out the doorway,
Our cares will fly 'way.
If we'd be happy, the way is clear:

Let's kiss and make up; no use to break up; we need each other, dear!
