K-ra-zy For You 1928 'Treasure Girl'

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 05 Feb 2005

[Nat:] When a guy like Byron
would meet up with a siren,
in his dome he'd find a pome
that made the girlie's skin burn.
I cannot spill passion
in high falutin' fashion;
I'm afraid that with a maid
I'll never be a Swinburne.
But though I'm not
the slightest bit poetic,
in my own way
you will find me sympathetic.

Let me give you the low down:
I'm krazy for you.
When it comes to a show down
I'm krazy for you.
And so, though love
may not inspire my lingo,
still it's making my heart go bango bingo!
Let me give you the low down:
I'm krazy for you!

I'm krazy to know that
you're krazy for me.
If you never outgrow that
how galad I shall be.
I really can't explain
just what your success is,
but I keep kraving your sweet caresses.
I'm krazy to know that
you're krazy for me!

[Polly:] Darling, I have never heard
such a grand endeavour,
though your bent for sentiment
is not exactly toney.
Though you sing my praises
in most peculiar phrases,
yet I see that they are free
from what I call "boloney!"
My dear, your kind of poetry will do me;
'f anybody doesn't like it,
let him sue me!

Let me give you the low down:
I'm krazy for you.
When it comes to a show down
I'm krazy for you.
And so, though love
may not inspire my lingo,
still it's making my heart go bango bingo!
Let me give you the low down:
I'm krazy for you!

I'm krazy to know that
you're krazy for me.
If you never outgrow that
how galad I shall be.
I really can't explain
just what your success is,
but I keep kraving your sweet caresses.
I'm krazy to know that
you're krazy for me!
