NIce Work If You Can Get It

The man who only lives for making money

Lives a life that isn't necessarily sunny;

Likewise the man who works for fame --

There's no guarantee that time won't erase his name

The fact is

The only work that really brings enjoyment

Is the kind that is for girl and boy meant.

Fall in love -- you won't regret it.

That's the best work of all -- if you can get it.

Holding hands at midnight

'Neath a starry sky...

Oh that is nice work if you can get it.

And you can get it -- if you try.

Strolling with the one girl

Sighing sigh after sigh...

Oh nice work if you can get it.

And you can get it -- if you try.

Just imagine someone

Waiting at the cottage door.

Where two hearts become one...

Who could ask for anything more?

Loving one who loves you,

And then taking that vow...

Nice work if you can get it,

And if you get it --

Won't you tell me how?

And you can get it -- if you try.

And you can get it -- if you try.

And you can get it -- if you try.

And you can get it -- if you try

Holding hands at midnight

'Neath a starry sky...

Nice work if you can get it

And you can get it -- if you try.

Strolling with the one girl

Sighing sigh after sigh...

Nice work if you can get it

And you can get it -- if you try

Who could ask for anything more?
