You're the Cream in My Coffee

by Marlene Dietrich

Marlene Dietrich (German pronunciation: [maɐˈleːnə ˈdiːtʁɪç]; 27 December 1901 – 6 May 1992) was a German-American actress and singer.




You're the cream in my coffee
You're the salt in my stew
You will always be my necessity
I'd be lost without you

You're the starch in my collar
You're the lace in my shoe
You will always be my necessity
I'd be lost without you

Most men tell love tails
And each phrase dovetails
You've heard each known way
This way is my own way

You're the sail of my love boat
You're the captain and crew
You will always be my necessity
I'd be lost without you

You give life savor
Bring out its flavor
So this is clear, dear
You're my Worcestershire, dear

You're the sail of my love boat 
You're the captain and crew;
You will always be my necessity
I'd be lost without you
