Cherry Pies Ought To Be You (feat. Rosemary Clooney)

Oh, by Jove and by Jehovah
You have set my heart aflame
And to you, you Casanova
My reactions are the same

I would sing thee tender verses
But the flair, alas, I lack
Oh, go on, try to versify
And I'll versify back
Well, let me see now

Cherry pies ought to be you
Autumn skies ought to be you
Yes, the Pulitzer prize ought to you
Romeo in disguise ought to be you

Columbine ought to be you
Sparkling wine ought to be you
All of Beethoven's Nine ought to be you
Every Will Shakespeare line ought to be you

You are so enticing
I'm starting to shake
You are just the icing to put on my cake
You mean I'm yummy?

Heaven's blue ought to be you
Heaven too ought to be you
Everything superdo ought to be you

Ashe Pudells ought to be you
Orson Wells ought to be you
Uncles like Kip Cornell ought to be you
Towels from Ritz hotel ought to be you

Sweet Snow White ought to be you
Ambrose Light (hey, that's good) ought to be you
Eleanor, wrong or right, ought to be you
Errol Flynn, loose or tight (watch it), ought to be you

You are so exciting
I can't even laugh (I wanna top that one!)
If you're fond of biting
I'll bite you in half
To continue

Whistler's Ma' ought to be you
Eliot's pa' ought to be you
Everything hip, hurrah ought to be you

(Ought to be you)
Ought to be you
(Ought to be you)
Ought to be you
(Ought to be you)
Ought to be you
(Ought to be you)
Ought to be you
