Young And Healthy Lyrics

Billy Lawlor:

 I know a bundle of humanity,

 She's about so high;

 I'm nearly driven to insanity,

 When she passes by.

 She's a sunny little honey,

 But oh so hard to kiss;

 I'll try to overcome her vanity,

 And then I'll tell her this:

 

 I'm young and healthy,

 And you've got charms;

 It would really be a sin

 Not to have you in my arms.

 I'm young and healthy,

 And so are you;

 When the moon is in the sky

 Tell me what am I to do?

 

 If I could hate "yuh,"

 I'd keep away;

 That ain't my nature,

 I'm full of vitamin "A," say!

 

 [Spoken]

 Say kid! Now you go to it!

 

 Peggy Sawyer:

 To what!?!

 

 Billy Lawlor:

 Your first notes on Broadway!

 

 Peggy Sawyer:

 I'm young and healthy,

 And you've got charms;

 It would really be a sin

 Not to have you in my arms.

 I'm young and healthy,

 And so are you;

 When the moon is in the sky

 Tell me what am I to do?

 

 If I could hate "yuh,"

 I'd keep away;

 That ain't my nature,

 I'm full of vitamin "A," say!

 

 I'm young and healthy,

 So let's be bold;

 In a year or two or three,

 Maybe we will be 

 Too old.
