Say So 1928 'Rosalie'

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 03 Feb 2005

[Dick:] When your eyes look in to mine,
there's something they would say:
Is it "No" or "Yes"?
[Rosalie:] Surely you can guess?
Look again and quickly,
then your doubts will fly away:
[Dick:] If their secret you'd tell,
words are needed as well.

[Dick:] Say so! Say you love me;
none above me in your heart.
Pining, I'll be pining
till you do.

Say so! Don't resist me,
say you've missed me
from the start.

Say so, for I pray so
that it's true.

[Both:] There are just
three little words I sigh for,
crazy about them;
three little words I'd die for,
can't live without them:
[Rosalie:] Say so!
Change the gray sky
to a gay sky ever blue:
[Dick:] Say so! I should say so!
[Both:] I love you.

[Dick:] Say so! Say you love me;
none above me in your heart.
Pining, I'll be pining
till you do.

Say so! Don't resist me,
say you've missed me
from the start.

Say so, for I pray so
that it's true.

[Both:] There are just
three little words I sigh for,
crazy about them;
three little words I'd die for,
can't live without them:
[Rosalie:] Say so!
Change the gray sky
to a gay sky ever blue:
[Dick:] Say so! I should say so!
[Both:] I love you.

P.G.Wodehouse was resident in New York for the duration
of the First World War and stayed on afterwards. Quite apart
from his journalistic skills he was a gifted lyricist and pops up
all over the place in those years as a provider of artful
rhymes and catchy lyrics.
