Thread Name: Lyr Req/Add: What'll I Do (Irving Berlin)
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: What'll I Do (Irving Berlin)
Lyrics by Mark are correct.

The song was introduced in Irving Berlin's "Music Box Review" of 1923, sung by Grace Moore and John Steel, and was used again in the 1924 edition.
The music was used in several films including "The Great Gatsby," 1974.
The song has been sung by many, including Sarah Vaughan, Lena Horne and Georgia Gibbs. The early version on record is by Paul Whiteman and his Orchestra.

The song bears copyright by Irving Berlin, 1924 and 1947.

Irving Berlin's name should be added to the thread title.
