I'VE GOT A NEW LEASE ON LOVE
Fred Ahlert / Joe Young

as rec by Thomas "Fats" Waller & his Rhythm  
April 9th 1937 New York


I got a new lease on love
>From that old gal o' mine,
I'm movin' into her arms again, yes yes!
I got a new lease on love
And the future sure looks fine,
I'm signin', boy, hand me that ink and pen, yes yes, my my!


When I thought it was ended,
When we said we were through,
A-hmm, it's as if I depended
On what we could say or do.


I got a new lease on love
>From that old gal o' mine,
Say I'm movin', movin'into her arms again, yes, my my!


Say I'm movin', movin'into her arms again!
