Cheerful Little Earful Tom Gerun Words by Ira Gershwin and Billy Rose; music by Harry Warren. Introduced by Hannah Williams and Jerry Norris in the musical "Sweet and Low." (Verse) I'm growing tired of lovey dove theme songs, That fifty million pianos pound. And in an age where radios scream songs, I only want one phrase around me. (Chorus) There's a cheerful little earful, Gosh I miss it something fearful, And this cheerful little earful, Is the well known "I love you." Stocks can go down Bus'ness slow down, But the milk and honey flow down With a cheerful little earful Of the well known "I love you." In ev'ry play it's a set phrase. What the public get phrase, But as a pet phrase, It'll do do do. Poopa rooit soft and cuit, Make me happy you can do it. With a cheerful little earful Of the well known "I love you." From: "Montcomags"
