embraceable you - girl crazy (1930)

1. He: Dozens of girls would storm up
I had to lock my door
Somehow I couldn't warmp up
To one before
What was it that controlled me?
What kept my love-life lean?
My intuition told me you'd come on the scene.
Lady, listen to the rhythm of my heart beat
And you'll get just what I mean

Embrace me, my sweet embraceable you
Embrace me, you irreplaceable you
Just one look at you, my heart grew tipsy in me
You and you alone bring out the gipsy in me
I love all, the many charms about you
Above all, I want my arms about you
Don't be a naughty baby
Come to papa, come to papa, do
My sweet embraceable you.

2. She: Embrace me, my sweet embraceable you
Embrace me, you irreplaceable you
In your arms I find love so delectable, dear
I'm afraid it isn't quite respectable, dear
But hang it, come on, let's glorify love
Ding dang it! You'll shout "Encore!" if I love
Don't be a naughty papa
Come to baby, come to baby, do
My sweet embraceable you

3. He: Dear lady, my silk and laceable you
Dear lady, be my embraceable you
You're the only one I love, yes, verily so
But you're much too shy, unnecessarily so

4. She: I'll try not to be so formal, my dear

5. He: Am I not a man who's normal, my dear?
There's just one way to cheer me
Come to Danny, come to Danny, do
My sweet embraceable you
