Have You Got Any Castles Baby? 1937

[Boy:] I have dreamed about romance a lot,
Men like Galahad and Sir Lancelot
Always did the things I'd like to do,
Physic'ly I'm not as durable,
but romantic'ly
I'm incurable
and I'd like to do the same for you.

[Boy:] Have you got any castles
that you want me to build, baby?
Have you got any dragons
that you want to have killed, Baby,
I'll get into my seven league boots,
I'll get into my bullet proof suits,
I'll get out my revolver that shoots,
and rat a tat tat tat at
Down they'll go!
Have you got any mortgages
you want to have paid, Baby.
Have you got any villains
that you want to have laid to rest?
After all my adventures are through
And I bring home a dragon or two,
you can tell all the papers
that I did it because I love you!

[Girl:] Have you got any mountains
that you want to have clumb, Baby?
Have you got any oceans
that you want to have swum, Baby?
I'll get out of my bonnet and shawl
I'll get into my nothing at all,
I'll give out with a Weissmuller crawl,
and over the waves I'll go, Splash! Splash!
Have you got any continents
you want me to fly, baby?
Oh! there just isn't anything
that I wouldn't try for you.
After all my adventures are through
and I hang up a record or two,
you can tell all the papers
that I did it because I love you!

[Girl:] Men are really men no longer now,
For the weaker sex is the stronger now,
We compete in ev'ry single thing,
Gents belong in the Smithsonian
since we gals are all Amazonian
And the Queen has now become the King!

[Boy:] Have you got any castles
that you want me to build, baby?
Have you got any dragons
that you want to have killed, Baby,
I'll get into my seven league boots,
I'll get into my bullet proof suits,
I'll get out my revolver that shoots,
and rat a tat tat tat at
Down they'll go!
Have you got any mortgages
you want to have paid, Baby.
Have you got any villains
that you want to have laid to rest?
After all my adventures are through
And I bring home a dragon or two,
you can tell all the papers
that I did it because I love you!

[Girl:] Have you got any mountains
that you want to have clumb, Baby?
Have you got any oceans
that you want to have swum, Baby?
I'll get out of my bonnet and shawl
I'll get into my nothing at all,
I'll give out with a Weissmuller crawl,
and over the waves I'll go, Splash! Splash!
Have you got any continents
you want me to fly, baby?
Oh! there just isn't anything
that I wouldn't try for you.
After all my adventures are through
and I hang up a record or two,
you can tell all the papers
that I did it because I love you!
