We are seen around New York "El Morocco" and "The Stork",
And the other stay-up-late cafes,
I am on the town with you these days
That's the way it stands.
Just a fellow and a girl,
We have had a little whirl,
And our feet have left the ground a bit.
We've played around a bit,
That's the way it stands.
For we are strictly goodtime Charlies
Who like to drink and dance around
And maybe kick romance around
And that's the way it stands.
(Refrain)
All in fun,
This thing is all in fun,
When all is said and done
How far can it go?
Some c***tails, some orchids,
A show or two,
A line in a column that links me with you.
Just for laughs.
You're with me night and day,
And so the dopes all say
That I'm that way 'bout you.
Here's the laugh
And when I tell you,
This'll kill you!...
What they say is true.
