LET'S GET ACQUAINTED

(Stephen Charles / Van Roberts (m & l) )

As sung by the Lennon Sisters 1957 
< Let's Get Acquainted >

Let's get acquainted
Better and better acquainted
Start with hello and there's no telling
Where it may go.

Now that I've met ya
I'm safe in saying, I'll bet ya
There are some things about you
I'd be pleased to know.

Little by little, we'll get to do things
We hadn't planned before
Little by little, we'll learn a few things
That will warm our friendship more.

And for the future
I've got a plan that might suit ya
One dream that all began with
Let's get acquainted.


Let's get acquainted
Better and better acquainted
Start with hello and there's no telling
Where it may go.


Now that I've met ya
I'm safe in saying, I'll bet ya
There are some things about you
I'd be pleased to know.

Little by little, we'll get to do things
We hadn't planned before
Little by little, we'll learn a few things
That will warm our friendship more.

And for the future
I've got a plan that might suit ya
One dream that all began with
Let's get acquainted...

Let's get acquainted...

Let's get acquainted.

NOTES:

The four Lennon sisters (of 6) were part of an 11 
sibling family which formed this traditional American 
pop group. They had a significant pedigree, springing 
from being children of Bill Lennon who was a vocalist 
(as well as having other vocations). After over 50 years, 
the sisters are still performing as of 2013.

Dianne, Peggy, Kathy and Janet got their start on the Lawrence 
Welk show. This happened by chance after Welk's son Larry met 
Dianne at high school and convinced his father to have a 
listen to them.

To music enthusiasts, the sisters are sometimes recognized 
for their first hit 
 < Tonight, You Belong To Me > 
in 1956 
although the popularity of this song (during the 1950s) 
really belonged to the 'one hit wonder' duo of Patience 
and Prudence. Billy Rose and Lee David wrote the original 
music and lyrics in 1926.
