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 brings enjoyment
Is the kind that is for girl-and-boy-ment.
Fall in love, you won't regret it.
That's the best work of all
If you can get it.
Hey, hey! Some people have to work a living, alright?
Holding hands at midnight,
'neath the 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.
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.
'S nice work if you can get it,
And if you get it,
Won't you tell me how?
Alright, alright! That's all swell, but you gotta take a hike!
Aw, come on, never you mind. Dance with me!
I don't know nothin' about no dancin'.
Well, neither do I. Just, follow along!
Nice work if you can get it,
And you can get it if you try.
Loving one who loves you
And then taking that vow.
'S nice work if you can get it,
And if you get it,
Won't
You
Tell
Me
How?
