Lyrics I Like Opera, I Like Swing - Judy Garland, Betty Jaynes, Judy Garland, Betty Jaynes

I Like Opera, I Like Swing

To look at us you’d never dream
The two of us were twins
In fact, it’s quite ridiculously odd
(But speaking pedagogically)
We’re really just like two peas in a pod
We both like to swim
And we both like to dance
We both could fall in love with Gable
If we had the chance
Our tastes are just the same
Except for just one thing
(I like Swing)
We both like to eat
But it pains us to discuss
The fact we like potatoes
But, potatoes don’t like us
But when we want to sing a song
We’re really on a spot
(And I si-i-i-i-i-ing hot)
They’re saying that we can get together
Oh, you in front an Opera I would crave
But if I sang in view in front an Opera
Mr. Verdi would turn over in his grave
We both like lovely music
And we like a lovely rhyme
And we both adore to sing for you
At any place or time
But there’s one complication
That our little offer has
(I-I-I-I si-i-i-ing Jazz)
