ALL I WANT IS JUST ONE
>From the film "Paramount On Parade" (1930)
(Music: Richard A. Whiting / Lyrics: Leo Robin)
Maurice Chevalier (Film Soundtrack) - 1930

It's criminal how women'll worry a man
Who lets them disturb all his slumber
I never would, no, never could follow the plan
That there is more safety in numbers
All I want is just one girl
But I have to have one girl
I could use many more
Even three or four, but one is enough
All I want is just one Moon
Though there only is one Moon
That is plenty for me
Just as long as he is doing his stuff
All I want is just one word
That little word "Yes"
>From a certain sweet someone
I'm eager to press to my heart
All I want is just one kiss
But I have to have one kiss
Yes, all I want is one
All I want is one for a start
(Orchestral Interlude)
All I want is just one hug
But I've got to have one hug
And I'm happy to state
I'm a candidate for one wife's caress
All I want is just one, aah, thrill
But I have to have one, aah, thrill
And I need the right mate
To cooperate in this happiness
Do I have to let my heart
Keep flaming with heat
Do I have to use my lips
For only to eat or to speak
All I want is just one girl
But I've got to have one girl
Yes, all I want is one
All I want is one for a start
