Track Title: Cheerful Little Earful Album Title: George and Ira Gershwin Songbook, disc 12 Prime Artist: Ella Fitzgerald Arranger: Nelson Riddle Lyrics by: Billy Rose Lyrics by: Ira Gershwin (b. Israel Gershvin) Music by: Harry Warren Producer: Norman Granz Orchestra: Nelson Riddle From the Show: Sweet And Low 1930 (S) Lyrics: There's a cheerful little earful Gosh I miss it something fearful And this cheerful little earful Is the well known "I love you." Stocks can go down, bus'ness slow down But the milk and honey flow down With a cheerful little earful Of the well known "I love you." In ev'ry play it's a set phrase What the public get phrase But as a pet phrase it'll do do do Poo-pa-roo-it Soft and cu-it Make me happy, you can do it. With a cheerful little earful Of the well known "I love you." |
