How Do I Rate With You? 1935

Let's cut out all the small talk
and have a heart to heart talk
on the very timely topic
of you and me.
You tell me all about yourself
come on confide
I'll tell you all about myself
I've nothing to hide.

I'm in the social register
I'm in the Blue Book too.
But baby
what I want to know is
How do I rate with you?
I'm listed with the Vanderbilts
in Dun's and Bradstreets too
But baby only one thing matters,
How do I rate with you?
Trace my family tree
Back to fifty One B.C.
There you'll find a king or two
but what good is a pedigree
when you feel blue
My credit's good at Tiffany's
and with the Parson too
So baby won't you tell a fella
How do I rate with you?
