MAKING CONVERSATION (aka JUST MAKING CONVERSATION)
(F. Ritz / H.Carlton)

Henry Hall & Orch.(vocals: Phyllis Robins & Les Allen) - 1933


We walk about together `neath the magical moon above
Just making conversation when we ought to be making love
We talk about the weather, anything that we may think of
Just making conversation when we ought to be making love.

What opportunities we're wasting
We've got to face the truth
What opportunities for tasting
The best in life and youth.

We can't go on forever counting stars in the sky above
Just making conversation when we ought to be making love
