George Gershwin - Nice Work If You Can Get It текст песни

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

Oh that is nice work if you can get it
And you can get it -- if you try
Strolling with the one girl
Sighing sigh after sigh
Oh 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 become one
Who could ask for anything more?

Loving one who loves you,
And then taking that vow
Nice work if you can get it,
And if you get it --

Won't you tell me how?

And you can get it -- if you try
And you can get it -- if you try
And you can get it -- if you try
And you can get it -- if you try

Holding hands at midnight
'Neath a starry sky
Nice work if you can get it
And you can get it -- if you try
Strolling with the one girl
Sighing sigh after sigh
Nice work if you can get it
And you can get it -- if you try
Who could ask for anything more?
