Whatever Happened To Melody |
| Whatever happened to melody |
| Sweet, old-fashioned melody? |
| Roses and ribbons and romance and rhyme |
| Songs about two hearts in three-quarter time |
| Once, there were movies with stars who were stars |
| Where, oh where can they be? |
| And why aren’t there heroes |
| Like yesterday’s heroes? |
| And whatever happened to melody? |
| Gene Tunney, Joe Louis |
| Ah, those were fighters! |
| Not like the pipsqueaks they palm off today |
| Hemingway, Steinbeck |
| Now, those were writers |
| With style |
| And with substance |
| And something to say! |
| Garbo and Gable |
| And Franklin D. Roosevelt |
| I could go on and on! |
| Babe Ruth and Bogey |
| And Gershwin |
| And Hoagy |
| Ah, what’s the use? |
| They’re gone, all gone! |
| And whatever happened to melody? |
| Who stole all the poetry? |
| Posies and picnics and walks in the wood |
| Hammocks and hayrides, have they gone for good? |
| Whatever happened to just holding hands |
| 'neath the old apple tree? |
| Gone is the magic |
| And speaking of magic |
| Whatever happened to melody? |
