"if you can't be with the one you love, honey, love the one you're with"
(Anna Gnorisis)
Oh my heart is beating wildly And it's all because you're here. When I'm not near the girl I love, I love the girl I'm near. Ev'ry femme that flutters by me Is a flame that must be fanned. When I can't fondle the hand I'm fond of, I fondle the hand at hand. My heart's in a pickle, It's constantly fickle And not too partickle, I fear. When I'm not near the girl I love, I love the girl I'm near.
I'm confessing a confession And I hope I'm not verbose When I'm not close to the kiss that I cling to, I cling to the kiss that's close As I'm more and more a mortal I am more and more a case. When I'm not facing the face that I fancy. I fancy the face I face. For Sharon I'm carin', But Susan I'm choosin' I'm faithful to whos'n is here. When I'm not near the girl I love, I love the girl I'm near.
[Finian's Rainbow, 1947]
