George Gershwin — I Dont Think Ill Fall in Love Today

(Verse 1) [ANN] Just think of what love leads to Maybe marriage, maybe divorce [NEIL] Into a jam love speeds two It may be nature's course But we mustn't be Like the other sheep [ANN] Better far if we Look before we leap [BOTH] Perhaps it's better after all If we don't answer nature's call (Chorus 1) [NEIL] Who knows if we'd agree? You like you and I like me I don't think I'll fall in love today [ANN] When evening shadows creep I like dancing [NEIL] I like sleep I don't think I'll fall in love today [ANN] Still, it might be fun to bring Your carpet slippers When the dinner bell would ring I'd serve a can of kippers [NEIL] Don't you know how to cook? [ANN] I could look in a book [NEIL] I don't think Ill fall in love today (Verse 2) Love is a fever chronic We can avoid it. Why take a chance? [ANN] Safer to be platonic Why burn up with romance? [NEIL] Adam without Eve Happiness had known So suppose we leave Well enough alone? [ANN] Imagine signing up for life Then finding peas roll off his knife (Chorus 2) [NEIL] Do you sleep with window shut? [ANN] Window shut [NEIL] Charming, but I don't think I'll fall in love today [ANN] Did you pick that cravat? [NEIL] I did that [ANN] Here's your hat I don't think I'll fall in love today [BOTH] It's as clear as A-B-C We're not agreeing Incompatibility The judge would be decreeing When all is said and done Seems we two will never be one Let's oh, let's not fall in love today (Chorus 3) [ANN] Do you play bridge or whist? [NEIL] I like pinochle [ANN] I insist I don't think I'll fall in love today [NEIL] To what symphonies do you go? [ANN] All I know is "vo-de-o" [NEIL] I don't think I'll fall in love today Is the combination wrong? I've wondered lately [ANN] We should never get along Not even companionately [BOTH] When all is said and done Dear, we two will never be one Let's oh, let's not fall in love today
