THAT'S SABOTAGE
Words, Mack Gordon; music, Harry Warren; ©1942.
As performed by Glenn Miller and His Orchestra, with Marion Hutton, vocalist.

Baby, what's wrong with you?
I can't get along with you.
When it comes to romance, you're never in the mood.
I say yes; you say no.
I say stop; you say go.
Lately, honey, I can't understand your attitude.

If you don't thrill me like you used to thrill me, that's sabotage.
If you don't kiss me like you used to kiss me, that's sabotage.
When you hear sirens screamin' those "be-alert" alarms,
Don't run helter-skelter; there's a bomb-proof shelter in my arms.

If you don't thrill me like you used to thrill me, that's sabotage.
Some fifth-column jerk did his dirty work and changed your mind about me.
I can't sleep; I've got to keep my F-B-eye on you,
'Cause if you've been untrue, that's sabotage.

If you don't thrill me like you used to thrill me, that's sabotage.
Some fifth-column jerk did his dirty work and changed your mind about me.
I can't sleep; I've got to keep my F-B-eye on you,
'Cause, baby, you've become a habit.
Please don't go and try to crab it.
If you've been untrue, that's sabotage.


[Wikipedia says THAT'S SABOTAGE was written for the film "Orchestra Wives" but was cut.]
