Lyrics
Now-a-days it hardly pays
To grind away at books
To succeed you only need
A singing voice and looks
You need no lecture by Dean or Prexy
If you perfect your voice to be sexy
So
Chorus
Learn to croon a sentimental tune
And end it with the words, “I love you”
Learn to moan into a megaphone
And it may be the making of you
You’ll be repaid with rich reward
By ev’ry maid you’ll be adored
If you can croon a sentimental tune
And end it with the words “I love you”
