Blossom Dearie – For People Like You And Me lyrics
Say, get a load o' that moon,
Look at those stars,
We get it all for free!
All the pretty birdies sing for
People like you and me!
You've heard of "Roses Are Red,
Violets Are Blue",
That's corny poetry!
Maybe corn is just the thing for
People like you and me!
Folks may say we're antiquated,
If they do, who cares?
So we're not sophisticated,
Leave it to the millionaires!
I'm gonna stick to the moon,
Stay with the stars,
That's my philosophy;
Nature must have thought of Spring for
People like you and me!
Say, get a load o' those guys,
High in the skies,
Wingin' to victory;
Up and at 'em in the fight for
People like you and me!
Hey, get a load o' those gobs,
Doin' their jobs,
Keepin' the sea lanes free;
Just to make the future bright for
People like you and me!
You must put your Yankee heart and soul
In everything you do;
Keep 'em flyin',
Keep 'em rollin',
Uncle Sam'll see you through!
We'll have to roll up our sleeves,
Tighten our belts,
But through the dark we'll see
The lady with the liberty light for
People like you and you and you,
And people like me,
People like you and me!
Look at those stars,
We get it all for free!
All the pretty birdies sing for
People like you and me!
You've heard of "Roses Are Red,
Violets Are Blue",
That's corny poetry!
Maybe corn is just the thing for
People like you and me!
Folks may say we're antiquated,
If they do, who cares?
So we're not sophisticated,
Leave it to the millionaires!
I'm gonna stick to the moon,
Stay with the stars,
That's my philosophy;
Nature must have thought of Spring for
People like you and me!
Say, get a load o' those guys,
High in the skies,
Wingin' to victory;
Up and at 'em in the fight for
People like you and me!
Hey, get a load o' those gobs,
Doin' their jobs,
Keepin' the sea lanes free;
Just to make the future bright for
People like you and me!
You must put your Yankee heart and soul
In everything you do;
Keep 'em flyin',
Keep 'em rollin',
Uncle Sam'll see you through!
We'll have to roll up our sleeves,
Tighten our belts,
But through the dark we'll see
The lady with the liberty light for
People like you and you and you,
And people like me,
People like you and me!
