until the real thing comes along, 1936

i'd work for you
i'd *shave for you
i'd be a joker or a knave for you
and if that isn't love then it'll have to do
until the real thing comes along

i'd gladly move the earth for you
to prove my love dear and it's worth for you
and if that isn't love then it'll have to do
until the real thing comes along

with all the words dear at my command
i just can't make you understand
i'll always love you darling come what may
my heart is yours, what more can i say

i'd lie for you, i'd sigh for you
i'd pull the stars down from the sky for you
and if that isn't love then it'll have to do
until the real thing comes along
