(It Will Have to Do) Until the Real Thing Comes Along |
Until The Real Thing Comes Along |
— words and music by Mann Holiner, Alberta Nichols, Sammy Cahn, |
Saul Chaplin and L. E. Freeman |
— as recorded in New York, August 1, 1936, by Fats Waller & his Rhythm |
I’d work for you, I’d even slave for you |
I’d be a beggar or a knave for you (whatever that is) |
And if that isn’t love, it’ll have to do Until the real thing comes along |
I’d gladly move the earth for you |
To prove my love, dear, and its worth for you |
If that isn’t love, it will have to do (gotta do) |
Until the real thing comes along |
With all the words, dear, at my command |
I just can’t make you understand |
I’ll always love you, darling, come what may |
My heart is yours, what more can I say? |
(You want me to rob a bank? Well I won’t do it) |
I’d sigh for you, yes, I’d even cry for you, yes |
I’d tear the stars down from the skies for you |
If that isn’t love, well skip it, it’ll have to do Until the real thing comes along |
Listen baby |
I’d even sigh for you, I’m 'bout ready to cry for you |
I’d tear the stars down from the skies for you |
If that isn’t love, it’ll have to do, baby, yes |
Until the real thing comes along |
(Here's the real thing, baby) |
