Subject: Lyr Add: I'M IN THE MARKET FOR YOU (from Armstrong
I'M IN THE MARKET FOR YOU
Words, Joseph McCarthy; music, James F. Hanley, ©1930.
As sung by Louis Armstrong & His Sebastian New Cotton Club Orchestra
I've had to see my broker, find out what he can do,
'Cause I'm in the market for you.
There won't be any joker; with margin I'm all through,
'Cause I want you outright, it's true.
You're going up, up, up in my estimation.
I want a thousand shares of your caresses too.
We'll count the hugs and kisses when dividends are due,
'Cause I'm in the market for you.
