JUST AS LONG AS THE WORLD GOES ROUND AND ROUND
Harry MacGregor Woods

as recorded by Thomas "Fats" Waller & his Rhythm  1930's


I can swing
Along through anything
If skies will be sunny and blue,
Just as long as the world goes round and around,
And I go around with you!

I can smile
At every weary mile,
I know that I'll always come through,
Just as long as the world goes round and around,
And I go around with you!

You are the bow and the fiddle
Playin' the strings of my heart.
There'd be no song worth singing
If we should ever part.

But life would be
The sweetest melody,
A song of love that is true,
Just as long as the world goes around and around,
And I go around with you, yes!

(oh mercy, we must be on the merry-go-round, ha-ha, yes!)

But life will be
The sweetest melody,
A song of love that is true,
Just as long as the world goes around and around,
And I go around with you, yes!
