How About You?

My boss, Quique, just gave me a terrific present: a CD entitled "The Legendary Sides" with the music of Tommy Dorsey and Frank Sinatra. I guess he just wanted to get me in a New York kinda mood. (Like I wasn't there already!)

The last song, "How About You", really struck home. (Well, except for the Franklin Roosevelt part. That's just bizarre.) Here are the lyrics:

HOW ABOUT YOU

I like New York in June, how about you?
I like a Gershwin tune, how about you?
I love a fireside when a storm is due,
I like potato chips, moonlight
And motor trips, how about you?

I'm mad about good books, can't get my fill
And Franklin Roosevelt's looks give me a thrill,
Holding hands in a movie show
When all the lights are low may not be new
But I like it, how about you?

I believe that in early arrrangements it was James Durante whose looks were thrilling

Ah, now THAT I could understand. Who couldn't love a face like Jimmy Durante's?

"Jimmy Durante? I don't get it."
