Ce qui me donne la peche en ce moment: "You're the Cream in my Coffee"

Ecoutez ici.

Marlene Dietrich racontait que c'était ce qu'elle avait chanté pour l'audition de L'Ange bleu.

Words & Music by Lew Brown, Buddy DeSylva & Ray Henderson, 1923
Recorded by Nat King Cole, 1942

YOU`RE THE CREAM IN MY COFFEE,
YOU`RE THE SALT IN MY STEW,
YOU WILL ALWAYS BE MY NECESSITY,
I`D BE LOST WITHOUT YOU.

YOU`RE THE STARCH IN MY COLLAR,
YOU`RE THE LACE IN MY SHOE,
YOU WILL ALWAYS BE MY NECESSITY,
I`D BE LOST WITHOUT YOU.

MOST MEN TELL LOVETALES
AND EACH PHRASE DOVETAILS:
YOU`VE HEARD EACH KNOWN WAY.
THIS IS MY OWN WAY.

YOU`RE THE SAIL OF MY LOVEBOAT,
YOU`RE THE CAPTAIN AND CREW.
YOU WILL ALWAYS BE MY NECESSITY,
I`D BE LOST WITHOUT YOU.

YOU GIVE LIFE SAVOR,
BRING OUT ITS FLAVOR,
SO THIS IS CLEAR, DEAR,
YOU`RE MY WORCESTERSHIRE, DEAR.

[Male verse]:

I`M NOT A POET,
HOW WELL I KNOW IT,
I`VE NEVER BEEN A RAVER.
BUT WHEN I SPEAK OF YOU
I RAVE A IT, IT`S TRUE.
I`M WILD ABOUT YOU,
I`M LOST WITHOUT YOU.
YOU GIVE MY LIFE ITS FLAVOR,
WHAT SUGAR DOES FOR TEA,
THAT`S WHAT YOU DO FOR ME.

[Female verse]:

YOU HAVE A GREAT WAY,
AN UP-TO-DATE WAY,
OF TELLING ME YOU LOVE ME.
IT GIVES ME SUCH A THRILL,
I KNOW IT ALWAYS WILL.
MY HEAD IS TURNING,
AND JUST FROM LEARNING
YOUR ESTIMATION OF ME.
AND AS FOR YOU, I`LL SAY,
`I FEEL THE SELF-SAME WAY.
