Young and Healthy 42nd Street (1933)

Billy Lawlor:
I know a bundle of humanity,
She’s about so high;
I’m nearly driven to insanity,
When she passes by.
She’s a sunny little honey,
But oh so hard to kiss;
I’ll try to overcome her vanity,
And then I’ll tell her this:
I’m young and healthy,
And you’ve got charms;
It would really be a sin
Not to have you in my arms.
I’m young and healthy,
And so are you;
When the moon is in the sky
Tell me what am I to do?
If I could hate «yuh,»
I’d keep away;
That ain’t my nature,
I’m full of vitamin «A,"say!
Say kid!
Now you go to it!
Peggy Sawyer:
To what!?!
Billy Lawlor:
Your first notes on Broadway!
Peggy Sawyer:
I’m young and healthy,
And you’ve got charms;
It would really be a sin
Not to have you in my arms.
I’m young and healthy,
And so are you;
When the moon is in the sky
Tell me what am I to do?
If I could hate «yuh,»
I’d keep away;
That ain’t my nature,
I’m full of vitamin «A,"say!
I’m young and healthy,
So let’s be bold;
In a year or two or three,
Maybe we will be Too old.
