Lyrics
How do you like your music?
What would you rather hear
A popular hit or classical bit?
Which satisfies your ear?
Some of you may find merit
In music of today
Some of you cannot bear it
Be that as it may
Chorus
Music has charms that nothing else has
Music has charms tho’ it’s classic or jazz
A symphony grand by Shubert or Brahms
A popular band, or a “uke” ‘neath the palms
A melody in minor key can make the teardrops start
And then again a glad refrain can cheer a lonely heart
Sweet harmony when there’s someone in your arms
Oh, baby, it’s then that music has charms
Performance
