You oughta be in pictures, 
You're wonderful to see, 
You oughta be in pictures, 
Oh what a hit 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're alone, 
You'd make ev'ry girl and man 
A fan worshiping at your throne. 
You oughta shine as brightly 
As Jupiter and Mars; 
You oughta be in pictures, 
My star of stars.

    My late grandfather used to sing this song to me when I was a little girl, I was probably about 5 or 6 years old, very shy & bashful. So I guess I got embarrassed & would put on a pouty face when he sang it to me but when he got to the verse, "Your face would be adored" he would sing: "Your face would stop a clock!" I'd give anything to hear him sing it to me again! Only this time my face would have a smile from ear to ear.

    I've got the sheet music for this song, which appears to include all the lyrics in the Rudy Vallee version. Let me know if you're interested.
