Translation
Bilingual
My life was simply hellish
I didn't stand a chance
I thought that I would relish
A tomb like General Grant's
But now I feel so swellish
So Elsie Maxwellish
That I'm givin' a dance
I feel like a million dollars
I feel simply outta sight
So come on down, come on down
We're throwin' a ball tonight
He's full of the old paprika
He's loaded with dynamite
So come on down, come on down
We're throwin' a ball tonight
A certain person just brought some news
And wow, was it great
So I'm rehearsin' my dancin' shoes
'Cause now I can celebrate
He feels like a million dollars
He feels simply outta sight
So come on down, come on down
We're throwin' a ball tonight
I invited Monty Woolley
Good Lord!
I invited F.D.R
And to do their stunts
I asked the Luntz
And Grace Moore
Bert Lahr
Mae West
And "Harper's Bazaar"
He invited Ethel Merman
And of course he asked Fanny Brice
And to all of his bids
Every one of those kids
Wired back, "How nice!"
And so I feel like a million dollars
He feels like a million dollars
I feel simply outta sight
He feels simply outta sight
So come on down, come on down
Come on down, come on down
We're feeling magnific
We're throwing a terrific
Ball
Tonight
In Broadway's heyday, we all had a ball. The Gershwins, Lerner and
Loewe, Rodgers and Hammerstein... Can you imagine, it took two men to
Write one song? Not that I didn't admire those gentlemen, and they
Wrote some wonderful songs. But then
I didn't do too badly, either...
I get no kick from champagne
Mere alcohol doesn't thrill me at all
So tell me why should it be true
That I get a kick out of you?
Some get a kick from cocaine
I'm sure that if I took even one sniff
It would bore me terrifically, too
Yet I get a kick out of you
I get a kick every time I see you standing there before me
I get a kick though it's clear to see
You obviously don't adore me
I get no kick in a plane
Flying too high with some girl in the sky
Is my idea of nothing to do
Yet I get a kick out of you
In olden days, a glimpse of stocking
Was looked on as something shocking
But now, God knows
Anything goes
Good authors, too, who once knew better words
Now only use four-letter words
Writing prose
Anything goes
If driving fast cars you like...
If old bars you like...
If old hymns you like...
If bare limbs you like...
If Mae West you like...
Or me undressed you like
Why, nobody would oppose
When ev'ry night the set
The smart is intruding
Into the smartest in studios
Anything goes
From this moment on
You for me, dear
Only two for tea, dear
From this moment on
From this happy day
No more blue songs
Only up-di-do songs
From this moment on
For you've got the love I need so much
Got the skin I love to touch
Got the arms to hold me tight
Got the sweet lips to kiss me goodnight
From this moment on
You and I, babe
We'll be ridin' high, babe
Ev'ry care is gone
From this moment on
