I'M AN UNEMPLOYED SWEETHEART
words by Edgar Leslie & Ned Washington, music by James V. Monaco, ©1931.
As recorded by Lee Morse, 1931

VERSE: I'm so full of ambition, but I never seem to find
Work that really appeals to me.
Could I find a position like the one I have in mind,
Oh, I'd be happy as I could be.

CHORUS: I want a job in the moonlight under the stars above,
For I'm an unemployed sweetheart lookin' for somebody to love.
I'll guarantee I can spoon right, just like a turtledove,
For I'm an unemployed sweetheart lookin' for somebody to love.
I've got kisses; I've got arms; still, I'm always blue,
Because my kisses and my arms have no work to do.
If I got a chance in the moonlight, I wouldn't need a shove,
For I'm an unemployed sweetheart lookin' for somebody to love.
