from 1929 film "Close Harmony)
(Richard A Whiting (m) Leo Robin (l) 1929)

as recorded by
Jack Hylton & His Orchestra
(vocal - Sam Browne)
1929


I wanna go places and do things,
See new faces and new things,
Go places and do things with you.
I wanna be steppin' in fives time,
That's my favourite pastime,
I'm achin' to start shakin' a shoe!

I know that pettin' is gettin' to be a popular window sport,
But listen dearie, I'm weary of decoratin' a davenport!

I gotta go places and do things,
See new faces and new things,
Go places and do things with you!
