The Right to Love Somebody |
| Young and old and in between |
| Six or sixty or sixteen |
| When you think that fate has been unkind |
| 'Cause you haven’t many toys |
| Like some other girls and boys |
| Here’s a little rhyme worth remembering sometime |
| What makes life the sweetest |
| Bestest and completest? |
| Not a big doll house |
| Or a Mickey Mouse |
| But the right somebody to love |
| Ice cream, cake and candy |
| May be fine and dandy |
| But if you ask me there not one two three |
| With the right somebody to love |
| One you really care for |
| And is yours to have and keep; |
| One you say a pray’r for |
| In your «Now I lay me down to sleep» |
| Tho' you’re not quite seven |
| What is most like heaven? |
| It’s the joy that’s found |
| With your arms around |
| The right somebody to love |
| What makes life the sweetest |
| Bestest and completest? |
| Not what you and I |
| Can go out and buy |
| But the right somebody to love |
| You may have a bankful |
| For which to be thankful |
| Nothing you possess |
| Brings you happiness |
| Like the right somebody to love |
| One you really care for |
| And is yours to have and keep; |
| One you say a pray’r for |
| In your «Now I lay me down to sleep» |
| All the milk and honey |
| Pockets full of money |
| Cannot take the place of the sweet embrace |
| Of the right somebody to love |
