You Oughta be In Pictures.

Seq - Dr. J.Pitt-Payne. Kar - Bunty Pritchard Jones. May 2001.

As I look at you
a thought goes thro' my mind.

What a marvellous find
you'd make upon the screen.

I am proud that I have you
right by my side,

But I'd be satisfied
to lend you to the people to be seen!

You oughta be in pictures,
You're wonderful to see,

You oughta be in pictures,
How beautiful, you would be!

Your voice would thrill a nation,
Your face would be adored,

You'd make a great sensation,
with wealth and fame your reward;

And if you should kiss the way
you kiss when we are all alone,

You'd make ev'ry girl and man a fan,
worshipping at your throne.

You oughta shine as brightly
as Jupiter and Mars;

You oughta be in pictures,
My star of stars!

You oughta be in pictures,
You're wonderful to see,

You oughta be in pictures,
How beautiful, you would be!

You're lovely as a Crawford,
like Davies you are gay;

You surely should be offered
a starring part right away.

You're sweet as a Gaynor
and you're hot as the gal nam'd West,

You'd make even Garbo jealous
if you took a movie test.

You oughta dress like Colbert
and ride in motor cars;

you oughta be in pictures,
My star of stars!

You oughta be in pictures,
You're wonderful to see,

You oughta be in pictures,
How beautiful, you would be!

You're handsome as a Gable,
You're healthy as a Mix,

You surely should be able
to photograph just like Dix.

You surely should sing like Bing
in a way that is nonchalant;

You've got more than Barrymore
and what more could a person want?

You oughta dress like Powell,
And ride in sporty cars;

You oughta be in pictures,
My star of stars!
