Lyrics:
Peaked at # 2 in 1940, with competing versions by Dinah Shore at # 17 and by Bobby Byrne
at # 19
Later charted by Perry Como (duet with Eddie
of men who were wealthy
Fitted them like a glove
They all married for money
I mean to marry for love
[Refrain:]
It's an old-fashioned idea, marrying
versions charted by Gordon Jenkins (#30) and Eddie Fisher (# 17)
Unless you give me your sunny smile
Unless you make living worth the while
Unless you
eye
Whenever he goes by my window
Daughter, daughter, he's in love
And you're in love, and love is grand
Hey Marie, I gotta da pork chop
Hey
the same
And joking I said honey are you marrying me for money
And it took just one quick look to tell it hurt my dear Dorraine
She jumped and stood above
eye
Whenever he goes by my window
Daughter, daughter, he's in love
And you're in love, and love is grand
Hey Marie, I gotta da pork chop
Hey
we come close the answer's always the same
I guess some souls get restless under the skin
There's a shortage by half of marrying men
You know that
you just another thrill
Then along came Eddie Jefferson
He sang the melody like Hawkins played it
He sang it true
He sang it blue
Made words for
you just another thrill
Then along came Eddie Jefferson
He sang the melody like Hawkins played it
He sang it true
He sang it blue
Made words for
you just another thrill
Then along came Eddie Jefferson
He sang the melody like Hawkins played it
He sang it true
He sang it blue
Made words for
lookin' for true love
No, he didn't believe in that stuff
Eddie LeGrande was a hard workin' man
Who just needed a little good luck
His shoes were
we come close the answer's always the same
I guess some souls get restless under the skin
There's a shortage by half of marrying men
You know that
can't help it if I love her
She can't help loving me
But she was Eddie's girl and he's got a lot of friends
And all of them looking for me
Never ran
you just another thrill
Then along came Eddie Jefferson
He sang the melody like Hawkins played it
He sang it true
He sang it blue
Made words for
Eating crunchy vegetables is good for me
And they're good for you, so eat them too
For teeth so strong, your whole life long
Eat celery and carrots by
you wake up, then I'll play you the Eddie Fisher record
and Herbie Hancock drop the heavy load
Gene Harris and the Three Sounds for soul jazz listeners
Bobby Hutcherson up late geared to the Jazz Messengers
Horace
Jimmy Buffett & Carrie Fisher
It's the reason for livin'
That's what I'm givin'
I don't need a history lesson
To tell my why
I mean I'm in no
thrill
Then along came Eddie Jefferson
He sang the melody like Hawkins played it
He sang it true
He sang it blue
Made words for it too
All his
or play sharing His love
Being fishers of men for our Father above
When we follow Jesus we find a new way
Leaving behind what holds us we trust and obey
He
that he met up in dance
Betty getting mad cause Eddie wanna share
But look at how you living for a minute then compare
I love confetti, I always stay
tonight
You're Kryptonite, you should probably have a cape to throw on, uh
On my Eddie Murphy Boomerang for ya
Got a bunch of old girls that I threw
love and I don't care who knows it
And she's a good old fashioned girl
Where have you gone, Betty Crocker?
Come back, Brigitte Bardot, Eddie was in for
FLOWERS FOR MAMA
WRITERS EDDIE NOACK, CINDY WALKER, AL RUMLEY
Papa brought flowers for mama today
And all the grown children, but it's not mother's
