A Couple of Song and Dance Men Songtext

von Irving Berlin

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
