This song which keeps coming back to me in snatches came from either Harold Rome's Pins and Needles (in the 40's) or from another political musical Pens and Pencils. Additional words I remember are: You've gotta keep that big bad wolf away from the door before he gets chummy. You've gotta.......three square meals a day Cause you can't make love on an empty tummy... Did you ever have a duet with your tummy which growls for food while you're cooing and wooing? What cacaphony! Good luck on loving without eating. |

YOU CAN'T LIVE ON LOVE (1938) (writers unknown) Verse: Romance is grand in the moving pictures, It's "boy meets girl" and it's "rags to riches" – In a cottage small, by a waterfall, Love conquers all, and there are no hitches. Chorus: I learned about love from Tin Pan Alley – Dorothy Dix and Rudy Vallee – Let me bring to your attention What they all forgot to mention -- That you can't live on love. You've got to pay rent to beat the gutter – You've got to have dough for bread and butter – Hugs and kisses may be thrilling, But they aren't very filling 'Cause you can't live on love. You've got to drive that big, bad wolf away From your door before he gets chummy. You've got to dig up three square meals a day, 'Cause you can't make love on an empty tummy. Don't flatter yourself – it's love you're rich in – It won't buy a lamb chop for your kitchen. Hugs and kisses are the fashion, But a steak must feed your passion 'Cause you can't live on love.

From: GUEST,Tom Keough You can see the words and hear it sung on a website run by the NY Labor History Assocition. The site is called laborarts.org If you click on the section called "Play it Again Sam" Henry Foner sings old labor songs from a long time ago . He was worried that all the people who knew these songs are passing on and he organized this set to preserve them. This is the page link http://www.laborarts.org/exhibits/playsam/exhibit.cfm?id=24 |
