Quotes

  • I can't give you anything but love, baby,That's the only thing I've plenty of, baby.
  • Grab your coat, and get your hat,Leave your worry on the doorstep,Just direct your feetTo the sunny side of the street.Can't you hear a pitter-pat?And that happy tune is your step.Life can be so sweetOn the sunny side of the street.
  • A fine romance, with no kisses.A fine romance, my friend, this is.We should be like a couple of hot tomatoes,But you're as cold as yesterday's mashed potatoes.
  • You're calmer than the seals in the Arctic Ocean.At least they flap their fins to express emotion.
  • Will you remember the famous menWho had to fall to rise again?So take a deep breath;Pick yourself up;Dust yourself off;Start all over again.
  • The minute you walked in the jointI could see you were a man of distinction,A real big spender.
