Nice Work If You Can Get It


  -- George & Ira Gershwin
  from A Damsel in Distress (1937)

  Holding hands at midnight 
    'Neath the starry sky
  It's nice work if you can get it
    And you can get it if you try.

  Strolling with the one girl
    Sighing sigh after sigh
  It's 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?

  Lovin' who loves you
    And then taking that vow
  It's nice work if you can get it
    And you can get it, 
  Won't you tell me how?
