George GershwinAbout
This song was originally composed for the 1928 musical Treasure Girl, but after the short run of that show, it was repurposed for the 1930 musical Strike Up the Band. It was originally sung as an up-tempo comic duet, but Lee Wiley’s slowed-down version of the song turned it into a sensual love song,...
I’ve Got a Crush on You Lyrics
(Verse)
[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]
You're my 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
(Chorus 1)
I've got a crush on you, sweetie pie
All the day and night-time, hear 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've got a crush, my baby, on you
(Chorus 2)
[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
