Young and Healthy 42nd Street (1933) - Dick Powell

Billy Lawlor:

I know a bundle of humanity,

She’s about so high;

I’m nearly driven to insanity,

When she passes by.

She’s a sunny little honey,

But oh so hard to kiss;

I’ll try to overcome her vanity,

And then I’ll tell her this:

I’m young and healthy,

And you’ve got charms;

It would really be a sin

Not to have you in my arms.

I’m young and healthy,

And so are you;

When the moon is in the sky

Tell me what am I to do?

If I could hate «yuh,»

I’d keep away;

That ain’t my nature,

I’m full of vitamin «A,"say!

Say kid!

Now you go to it!

Peggy Sawyer:

To what!?!

Billy Lawlor:

Your first notes on Broadway!

Peggy Sawyer:

I’m young and healthy,

And you’ve got charms;

It would really be a sin

Not to have you in my arms.

I’m young and healthy,

And so are you;

When the moon is in the sky

Tell me what am I to do?

If I could hate «yuh,»

I’d keep away;

That ain’t my nature,

I’m full of vitamin «A,"say!

I’m young and healthy,

So let’s be bold;

In a year or two or three,

Maybe we will be Too old.
