I Love The Ground You Walk On 1920 'The Girl in the Spotlight'

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 05 Jan 2004

Ev'rywhere I go the fellows bore me,
telling me how madly they adore me.
Love sick chaps with forty per perhaps,
lay all they have before me.
They think that a cozy little flat
would not tempt me in vain
and when rejected, it's so unexpected
that I find I'm obliged to explain:

True love in a cottage is luxury for a few,
But give me a mansion
on Upper Fifth Avenue.
To me that's far more sensible,
Yacht and limousine indispensable.
I love the very ground you walk on
if it belongs to you.

True love in a cottage is luxury for a few,
But give me a mansion
on Upper Fifth Avenue.
To me that's far more sensible,
Yacht and limousine indispensable.
I love the very ground you walk on
if it belongs to you.

When a girl has Romeos extensive,
she should always be on her defensive,
You pay high for ev'rything you buy,
and wives are more expensive,
why should not a lady want a lot
and favour millionaires?
When she is hearing
much of profiteering
you cannot blame a girl who declares:

True love in a cottage is luxury for a few,
But give me a mansion
on Upper Fifth Avenue.
To me that's far more sensible,
Yacht and limousine indispensable.
I love the very ground you walk on
if it belongs to you.

True love in a cottage is luxury for a few,
But give me a mansion
on Upper Fifth Avenue.
To me that's far more sensible,
Yacht and limousine indispensable.
I love the very ground you walk on
if it belongs to you.
