Cheerful Little Earful 1930

I'm growing tired of loveydove theme songs,
That fifty million pianos pound;
And in an age where these radios scream songs,
I only want one phrase around me:

There's a cheerful little earful,
Gosh, I miss it something fearful;
And this cheerful little earful
Is the wellknown, "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 wellknown, "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.
Poopa rooit, soft and cue it,
Make me happy, you can do it,
With a cheerful little earful
Of the wellknown, "I love you."

There's a cheerful little earful,
Gosh, I miss it something fearful;
And this cheerful little earful
Is the wellknown, "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 wellknown, "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.
If a chappie makes it snappy,
He can make his girlie happy,
With a cheerful little earful
Of the wellknown "I love you."

When Mars would make a speech
to that peach, Venus,
His honeyed words were far from new;
And should I ever see shadows between us,
I'd have to whisper, "I love you, too";

There's a cheerful little earful,
Gosh, I miss it something fearful;
And this cheerful little earful
Is the wellknown, "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 wellknown, "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.
Poopa rooit, soft and cue it,
Make me happy, you can do it,
With a cheerful little earful
Of the wellknown, "I love you."

There's a cheerful little earful,
Gosh, I miss it something fearful;
And this cheerful little earful
Is the wellknown, "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 wellknown, "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.
If a chappie makes it snappy,
He can make his girlie happy,
With a cheerful little earful
Of the wellknown "I love you."
