Morgan. MY DARLING, MY DARLING Words and music by Frank Loesser New York: Susan Publications, Inc., 1948. Till a moment ago we were "Mister" and "Miss," Discussing the weather, avoiding each other's eye, Till a moment ago when we happened to kiss, And we kissed the "Mister" and "Miss" goodbye. Now at last I can sigh — My darling, my darling, I've wanted to call you my darling For many and many a day. My darling, my darling, I fluttered and fled like a starling. My courage just melted away. Now all at once you've kissed me, And there's not a thing I'm sane enough to say, Except my darling, my darling, Get used to the name of my darling. It's here to stay. [Sung by Ray Bolger in "Where's Charley?" Also recorded by Brook Benton, Johnny Mathis, Sarah Vaughan, and several others.] |

MY DARLING, MY DARLING As sung by Homer & Jethro. My darlin', my darlin', I've wanted to call you my darlin' For many and many a year. I've called you such sweet names Like fathead and meathead and birdbrain, And some things that I can't say here. Let me call you sweetheart, 'Cause I've called you ever' name that's in the book Except my darlin', my darlin'. Oh, how can I call you my darlin' the way you look? My darling, by golly, To me you don't look very jolly. You look melancholy somehow. Your head's like a melon. Your face it resembles a collie. When you eat, you chew like a cow. I would like to kiss you, But your upper lip is always in the way. You're like income tax, dear, So I guess that I can relax, dear. You're here to stay. Ooh-hoo-hoo-hoo! Oh, Lawd! [From "Homer & Jethro Fracture Frank Loesser" 1953.] |
