Once again I found myself watching Carey Grant and Leslie Caron in the wonderful film, "Father Goose" and once again I heard the song, "Pass Me By" in the background of the opening scenes. At least that is what I would have called it. I don't know if that is the correct title. It is a music hall type of song, the only lyrics of which I can recall are: "If you don't happen to like it, pass me by."

It seems like such a fun song that I would at least like to read through the lyrics if anyone has them.

Thanks

I believe Frank Sinatra's one of the singers of this fine song. href="http://www.ajmackintosh.ukgateway.net/film/PassMeBy.txt">http://www.ajmackintosh.ukgatewa/y.net/film/PassMeBy.txt

Pass Me By
Lyrics: Carolyn Leigh
Music: Cy Coleman

I've got me ten fine toes to wiggle in the sand.
Lots of idle fingers snap to my command.
A lively pair of heels that kick to beat the band.
Contemplatin' nature can be fascinatin'.
Add to these a nose that I can thumb,
And a mouth by gum have I,
To tell the whole darn world if you don't happen to like it deal me out,
Thank you kindly Pass Me By
 
Chorus
Pass Me By-y, Pass Me By-y-y.
If you don't happen to like it Pass Me By.
 
I've got me two great shoes that never saw a shine.
Trousers I can hold up with a laundry line.
A lovely patch that hides an awful lot of spine.
Shirt-tails flyin', I'm a bloomin' dandelion!
Add to these a grin from ear to ear,
And all the proper gear have I,
To tell the whole darn world if you don't like the assortment deal me out,
Thank you kindly Pass Me By      Chorus
