BANKING ON THE WEATHER
Words by Joe Young, music by Sammy Fain, ©1932.
As recorded by Joe Moss and His Orchestra, 1932.

VERSE: Oh, the world's a great big bank,
Filled with love untold.
Meet the lucky stars we hang.(?)
They're our hearts of gold.
When my work and hustle is through,
Here's the kind of bankin' I do:

CHORUS: Bankin' on the weather, mm-hmm, hope it doesn't rain.
Bankin' on the weather to bring us together again.

Bankin on the moonlight, mm-hmm, and the little stars.
I know that banks may come and banks may go, but there's no bank like ours.

Bankin' on our love nest,
Beside the water too;
Bankin' on the int'rest
I always get from you.

Bankin' on your kisses, mm-hmm, in a lovers' lane,
Bankin' on the weather to bring us together again.
