Lyrics You're a Builder-Upper - Harold Arlen

You're a Builder-Upper

You’re a builder upper, a breaker downer;
A holder outer and I’m a giver iner
Sad, but true, I’m a saparoo, too;
Taking it from a taker over like you
Don’t know where I’m at-a, I’m just a this-a
Then I’m a that-a, a taker on the chiner
My, my, my, what a weaky am I
To love you as I do
Just when I’m ready to sob
You hand me a throb
And everything is hunky dory
And that’s my story
Open your arms and I’m a stooge for your charms
You’re a builder upper, a breaker downer
A holder outer, and I’m a giver iner
Sad, but true, I love it, I do!
Being broken by a builder upper like you
