I'M FEELIN' LIKE A MILLION
Words by Arthur Freed, music by Nacio Herb Brown, ©1937.
From the film "Broadway Melody of 1938"
As recorded by Hildegarde

VERSE: Though I'm flat, though I'm broke,
Though I'm bent, I'm contented
To never sigh as time goes by.
You know there's a gleam in my eye,
And inside of my heart,
I'm a lucky girl; there's a reason why:

CHORUS: I'm feeling like a million.
Though I haven't got a dollar, a shilling or a sou,
Still I'm feeling like a million,
And I want to get this over to you

That I'm feeling like a million.
Though I haven't got a villa, a cottage or bed,
Still I'm walking like a million
With my hat on the side of my head.

What's this thing that I've found
Through the days that I've clowned?
Is it you that's around?
I get a crazy feeling I could jump up to the ceiling.

'Cause I'm feeling like a million.
Though I couldn't buy a stocking, a handbag or a glove,*
Still I'm feeling like a million.
Is it you? Is it you? Is it love?

[* A male vocalist who sang this with Teddy Hill and His Orchestra, sang: "Though I couldn't buy a collar, a necktie or a glove...."]

[Josephine Baker recorded a French version of this song called "Comme une Banque" (in addition to the English version). The first line sounds like "Je me sens comme une banque."]
