Fats Waller — Breakin the Ice

She was as cool as could be Though I said hello to her twice; Now I can take her to tea Looks like I'm breakin' the ice! I call around every day And her people treat me so nice! They seem to think I'm okay Looks like I'm breakin' the ice! Bit by bit I've been makin' a hit I'm afraid everything's gonna be alright, (if you know what I mean!) Rome, they say Wasn't built in a day Or romance built in a night! (no!) But we saw the ring in the store And I'm gonna save up the price I guess you know what it's for Looks like I'm breakin' the ice! She was as cool as could be Though I said hello to her twice; Now I can take her to tea Oh, it looks like I'm breakin' the ice! I call around every day And her people treat me so nice! They seem to think I'm okay Looks like I'm breakin' the ice! Bit by bit I've been makin' a hit I'm afraid everything's gonna be alright Rome, they say Wasn't built in a day Or romance built in a night! Oh, we saw ring in the store And I'm gonna save up the price Oh, I guess you know what it's for, (you don't?) Looks like I'm breakin' the ice, yeah!
