don't stop until i say when

Let's Do It Again
Perry Como, 1975
(Tony Hatch & Jackie Trent)

Hey! . . . let's do it again an' again!
If you will count up to ten,
that'll give me a chance to get my breath back
then . . . we'll do it again an' again!

Don't stop until I say when
'cause your kisses are sweet
an' I don't want the feelin' to end!

We glide on a magic carpet ride
all around us stars collide
and there's poetry inside my head
it seems I can hear some haunting theme
yet there's something in your scheme
that's too real to be a dream instead!

Hey! . . . let's do it again an' again!
If you will count up to ten,
that'll give me a chance to get my breath back
then . . . we'll do it again an' again!

Don't stop until I say when
'cause your kisses are sweet
an' I don't want the feelin' to end!

The sound all around begins to pound
an' I know we're homeward bound
to a world we've often found before
we climb into space an' out of time
then the bells begin to chime
we're in rhythm and in rhyme, once more!

Hey! . . . let's do it again an' again!
If you will count up to ten,
that'll give me a chance to get my breath back
then . . . we'll do it again an' again!

Don't stop until I say when
'cause your kisses are sweet
an' I don't want the feelin' to end!

Hey! . . . let's do it again an' again!
If you will count up to ten,
that'll give me a chance to get my breath back
then . . . we'll do it again an' again!

Don't stop . . . [fade]

Theme Song

In Love In Vain

(Leo Robin & Jerome Kern)

[click on the "play" button to hear
a low-res version of this song
by Dick Haymes & Helen Forrest. best played with mp3PRO decoder]

Love can be a blessing,
But also most depressing,
And I don't mind confessing
That I feel mighty Blue!

It's only human for anyone
To want to be in love
But who wants to be
In love in vain?

At night you hang around the house
And eat your heart out
And cry your eyes out
And wrack your brain.

You sit and wonder
Why anyone as wonderful as she
Should cause you such misery & pain
I thought that I would be in Heaven,

But I'm only up a tree
Cause it's just my luck to be
In love in vain!



Message

LOVE, n.
1. A temporary insanity curable by marriage or by removal of the patient from the influences under which he incurred the disorder. This disease, like caries and many other ailments, is prevalent only among civilized races living under artificial conditions; barbarous nations breathing pure air and eating simple food enjoy immunity from its ravages. It is sometimes fatal, but more frequently to the physician than to the patient.
- Ambrose Bierce

2. A man's insane desire to become a woman's meal-ticket.
- Gideon Wurdz
