The man who only live for making money
 Lives a life that isn't necessarily sunny;
 Likewise the man who works for fame --
 There's no guarantee that time won't erase his name
 The fact is
 The only work that really brings enjoyment
 Is the kind that is for girl and boy meant.
 Fall in love -- you won't regret it.
 That's the best work of all -- if you can get it.
 Holding hands at midnight
 'Neath a starry sky...

Holdin' hands at midnight
 Beneath a starry sky
 Nice work if you can get it
 And you can get it if you try

 Strollin' with the one girl
 Sighin' sigh after sigh
 Nice work if you can get it
 And you can get it if you try

 Just imagine someone
 Waiting at the cottage door
 Where two hearts [bad word] one
 Who could ask for anything more?

 Loving one who loves you
 And then takin' that vow
 Nice work if you can get it
 And if you get it, won't you tell me how?

 Holdin' hands at midnight
 Beneath a starry sky

 And strollin' with the one girl
 Sighing sigh after sigh

 Just imagine someone
 Waiting at the cottage door
 Where two hearts [bad word] one
 Who could ask for anything more?

 Loving one who loves you
 And then takin' that vow
 Nice work if you can get it
 And if you get it, won't you tell me how?
