Manuela 1946 Cole Porter - unpublished

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 29 May 2003

Stop! all other music!
I've just met a maid
as cute as a kitten
who's got me so smitten,
I've written a serenade.

So here's to my libido,
with a mi, mi, mi,
re, re, re, mi, do.
Let's go!

You're a dream, Manuela;
You're supreme, Manuela;
You're divine, Manuela;
You're as fine as a wine,
sweet and mella.
I'm so sad, Manuela,
going mad, Manuela,
for my heart beats only for you.
Manuela, tell a fella what to do.

'The Pirate' was an M-G-M film released in 1948,
starring Judy Garland and Gene Kelly.
'Manuela' was a song obviously intended for Kelly,
but it was cut from the film because it used rhymes
on a girl's name, probably making it too similar
to 'Nina,' also written for the film.
