George Gershwin Nice Work If You Can Get It lyrics

The man who only live for making money
Lives a life that isn't necessarily sunny
Likewise the man who works for fame
There's no guarantee that time won't erase his name

The fact is the only work that really brings enjoyment
Is the kind that is for girl and boy meant
Fall in love, you won't regret it, that's the best work of all
If you can get it, holding hands at midnight 'neath a starry sky

Oh, that is nice work if you can get it
And you can get it if you try, strolling with the one girl
Sighing sigh after sigh, oh nice work if you can get it
And you can get it if you try

Just imagine someone waiting at the cottage door

Where two hearts become one, who could ask for anything more?
Loving one who loves you and then taking that vow
Nice work if you can get it and if you get it

Won't you tell me how?
And you can get it if you try and you can get it if you try
And you can get it if you try and you can get it if you try
Holding hands at midnight 'neath a starry sky

Nice work if you can get it and you can get it if you try
Strolling with the one girl, sighing sigh after sigh
Nice work if you can get it and you can get it if you try
Who could ask for anything more?
