I'M GOING SHOPPING WITH YOU
>From the film "Gold Diggers Of 1935"
(Music: Harry Warren / Lyrics: Al Dubin)
Dick Powell (Film Soundtrack) - 1935
I'm not a salesman, but understand
I know the laws of supply and demand
All your demands, dear, I will supply
'Cause if it's for my baby, I'll buy
Whenever you go shopping
To buy a dress that's new
Honey, I'll keep my eye on the dresses you try on
'Cause I'm going shopping with you
When you go to the jewellers
To buy a gem or two
On your fourth little finger a ring's gonna linger
'Cause I'm going shopping with you
Lots of shoes and stockings
And plenty of new chapeaus
That's what I could go for
For the cute little baby inside those clothes
Mmm, you go and pick the cottage
I'll put the mortgage through
Honey, I don't know whether we'll move in together
But I'm going shopping with you
Where's your basket
I'm going shopping with you
(Instrumental Break)
Go to the beauty parlour
They won't have much to do
If they paint you, they're silly, they can't paint a lily
But I'm going shopping with you
When you go to the grocer
To buy an egg or two
I'll bring home the bacon, or am I mistaken
About going shopping with you
We can build a nest with
Sweet kisses and then someday
Maybe we'll be blessed with
In the Pig Latin language, an aby-bay
Ooh, when you buy baby blankets
All trimmed in baby blue
I'll be right there behind you, 'cause let me remind you
That I'm going shopping with you
In the basement
I'm going shopping with you
