SPOKEN FOR


as recorded by Sammy Davis Jr
1955


Spoken for,
The lady's been spoken for;
More and more
I find I adore her!
She's mine to miss,
The lady is mine to miss,
And I know what a careless kiss can do!

I know I'll never forget her,
I'll act my age and behave.
I'll set a flame to her letters,
Just like they do on the stage.

Laughing eyes,
The lady has laughing eyes,
Paradise can never be mine!
So I'll stand back
And be one of the pack
And want her each day,
More and more!
'Cause the lady I love has been spoken for!

So I'll stand back,
And be one of the pack
And want her each day,
More and more!
'Cause the lady I love has been spoken for!
