AN IRISHMAN'S IDEA OF LOVE
From the film "Perilous Holiday" (1946)
(Allan Roberts / Doris Fisher)

The Happy Gang Orchestra


When a Frenchman is courting a mademoiselle
He takes her to dinner at some fine hotel
He spends all the salary he worked for that week
And if he is lucky, he kisses her cheek

But an Irishman's idea of love
Is to meet the girl he's dreamin' of
Compliment her eyes of blue
And the divil if he doesn't mean it too

Fills her full of a line of blarney
That he learned in ole Killarney
Gets the kiss so easily
That cost the poor Frenchman his week's salary
