ME MYSELF AND I
Burke / Webster

as rec by Connie Haines & The Lee Gordon Singers  
Nov 1949 Hollywood


Just like fences love a post,
Swallows love the sky,
What three people love you most?
Me myself and I!

Just like gravy needs a roast,
Apples need a pie,
What three people need you most?
Me myself and I!

What a happy trio,
Don't need wings to fly!
'Cause my-oh-me-oh,
Gosh oh-gee-oh,
Oh G-double L-Y,
Do I know that!

Someday soon three hearts will hum
When their dreams come true;
One of us will hold the ring,
One the village preacher bring,
Then all three of us will sing,
"I do, I do, I do!",
When me myself and I become
Me myself and you!

Just like fences love a post,
Swallows love the sky, (swallows)
What three people love you most?
You know, me myself and I!

Just like gravy needs a roast,
Apples need a pie, (ooh, a la mode!)
What three people need you most?
Mmm, me myself and I!

What a happy trio,
Don't need wings to fly!
'Cause my-oh-me-oh,
Gosh oh-gee-oh,
G-double L-Y,
Do I know that!

Someday soon three hearts will hum
When their dreams come true;
And one of us will hold the ring,
One the village preacher bring,
Then all three of us will sing,
"I do, I do, I do!",
When me myself and I become,
When me myself and I become,
Me myself and I become
Me myself and you!
