It's Just Yours 1944 Cole Porter

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 09 Dec 2005

Your charm is not like the still of evening, dear;
your glamour not like the sky when stars appear.
Your warmth is not like the moonlight on the moors.
It's just yours, it's just yours,
it's just yours.
Your touch is not like the summer breeze,
oh no!
Your sweetness, not like a song of long ago.
Your smile is not like the sun ashine,
but, darling, like this heart of mine
it's just yours, it's just yours,
it's just yours!

Your walk is not like a graceful young gazelle's.
Your style is not what the chic Mainbocher sells.
Your voice is not Gracie Fields' or Gracie Moore's.
It's just yours. It's just yours,
it's just yours.
Your charm is not that of Circe with her swine.
Your brain would never deflate the great Einstein.
Your laughter's not like a babbling brook,
But like my love, believe me snook,
it's just yours, it's just yours,
it's just yours.

Your mouth is not like a rosebud on the wall.
Your neck is not like as swan's, oh, not at all.
Your nose is not early Greek like Dot Lamour's.
It's just yours. It's just yours.
It's just yours.
Your skin is not like the virgin winter snow.
Your figure hardly excels Blondell's, oh no!
Your smile is not like the sun ashine,
but, lambkin, like this heart of mine,
it's just yours, it's just yours,
it's just yours.

It's Just Yours 1944 Cole Porter
Words and Music by Cole Porter
© 1944 Unpublished
It is probable that "It's Just Yours" was written for Bobby Clark,
star comic of Mexican Hayride, the Mike Todd extravaganza, with
Porter songs, presented in 1944. But Clark either could not or would
not sing the songs Porter wrote for him. As a result, approximately
two of every three songs Porter wrote for this show were not used.
