Strike Up the Band - I've Got a Crush on You Lyrics

1930 Broadway
Strike Up the Band the Musical - I've Got a Crush on You Lyrics

The song is written by George Gershwin and Ira Gershwin.

TIMOTHY:
How glad the many millions
Of Annabelles and Lillians
Would be to capture me
But you had such persistence
You wore down my resistance
I fell and it was swell

ANNE:
I'm your big and brave and handsome Romeo
How I won you I shall never, never know

TIMOTHY:
It's not that you're attractive
But, oh, my heart grew active
When you came into view

I've got a crush on you, sweetie pie
All the day and nighttime give me sigh
I never had the least notion that
I could fall with so much emotion
Could you coo?
Could you care for a cunning cottage
We could share?
The world will pardon my mush
'Cause I have got a crush,
My baby, on you

ANNE:
I've got a crush on you, sweetie pie
All the day and night-time, hear me sigh
This isn't just a flirtation
We're proving that there's predestination

I could coo
I could care
For a cunning cottage we could share
Your mush I never shall shush
'Cause I've got a crush,
My baby, on you
