When a girl meets boy, life can be a joy
But the note they end on
Will depend on little pleasures they will share
So let us compare

I like New York in June, how about you?
I like a Gershwin tune, how about you?
I love a fireside when a storm is due,
I like potato chips, moonlight
And motor trips, how about you?

I'm mad about good books, can't get my fill
And Frank Sinatra’s looks give me a thrill,
Holding hands in a movie show
When all the lights are low may not be new
But I like it, how about you.

I like Jack Benny's jokes, to a degree
I love the common folks, that includes me
I like to window shop on 5th Avenue
I like banana splits, late supper at the Ritz
How about you?

I love to dream of fame, maybe I'll shine
I'd love to see your name right beside mine
I can see we're in harmony
Looks like we both agree on what to do
And I like it, how about you?

HOW ABOUT YOU
From the Movie "Young Lions" (1958)

Dean Martin


I like New York in June,
How about you?
I like a Gershwin tune,
How about you?
I like a fireside
When a storm is due.
How about you?
I like potato chips,
Moonlight
And motor trips,
How about you?

I'm mad about good books,
Can't get my fill,
And James Durante's looks
Give me a thrill.
