(Sam)
My dear it’s grand to be the man you love
But now you’re far away
I dream I hold your hand
I want you night and day
I love you so
You make my life a song
A special Gershwin brand
My voice may not be strong
But perhaps you’ll understand

(Anona)
Thanks you for phoning me
I wanted you to
Thank you for loving me

(Sam)
What else could I do
Please don’t mention it

(Anona)
I won’t mention it

(Sam)
It’s been no trouble at all

(Anona)
Thank you for teaching me
That your love was real
Thank you for loving me

(Sam)
That’s just how I feel
Please don’t mention it

(Anona)
I won’t mention it

(Sam) 
It’s been no trouble at all
I made a vow, if you resisted
That I would find a way
I always knew if I persisted
I’d make you care some day

(Anona)
Thank you for missing me

(Sam)
And I miss you too

(Anona)
Thank you for kissing me
The way that you do

(Sam) 
Please don’t mention it
 
(Anona)
I won’t mention it

(Sam)
It’s been no trouble at all

(Musical Break)

(Sam)
I’ve had affairs
Beautiful girls, dear
All for my sex appeal

(Anona)
One kiss from me
So I’ve been told, dear
Seems like a darn good meal

(Sam)
I’ve taught you everything
That I ever knew

(Anona)
If that’s all you know 
I’m disappointed in you

(Sam)
Please don’t mention it

(Anona)
I won’t mention it

(Sam)
It’s been no trouble at all.
