BILLIE HOLIDAY - NICE WORK IF YOU CAN GET IT lyrics

George and Ira Gershwin

The man who only lives for making money

Lives a life that is'nt necessarily sunny

Likewise the man who works for fame

There's no guarantee that time won't erase his name

The fact is, the only work that really brings enjoyment

Is the kind that is for girl and boys meant

Fall in love you won't regret it

That''s the best work of all if you can get it

Holding hands at midnight

'Neath the starry sky

Nice work if you can get it

And you can get it if you try

Scrolling with the one girl

Sighing after sigh

Nice work if you can get it

And you can get it if you try

Just imagen someone waiting at the cottage door

Where two hearts become one

Who could ask for more

Loving one who loves you

And taking that vow

Nice work if you can get it

And you can get it if

Won't you tell me how?
