TAKE A LETTER, MISS SMITH 
Fran Warren & Tony Martin


Take a letter, Miss Smith
Yes sir
You’re typin’ better, Miss Smith
You know best, sir
A little closer, my dear
But I can hear you from here
Back to business, Miss Smith
Yes sir

Just write “My dear Mr. Brown”
Got it
Say, what’s his address in town?
I forgot it
Why, that’s a lovely perfume
They call it ‘two in a room’
Er, back to business, Miss Smith
Yes sir

Dear Mr. Brown, in regard to that stock
Gee, Miss Smith, you’re awfully pretty
Dear Mr. Brown, in regard to that stock
Hey boss, you can call me ‘Smitty’
You’re getting thinner, Miss Smith
Yes sir
You need some dinner, Miss Smith
You know best, sir
I’ll pick you up about eight
I promise not to be late
And we’ll leave the rest to fate
Yes sir

Well, good morning, Miss Smith
Hi boss
Why’re you yawning, Miss Smith?
You know why, boss
The clock struck one at your door
You hung around until four
Back to business, Miss Smith
Er, yes sir

Now, just write, er “My dear Mr. Brown”
Right boss
We really covered the town
What a night, boss!
I liked that wonderful show
I liked the very last row
Ahem, er, back to business
Er, yes boss

Now write this: “Dear Mr. Brown, in regard to that stock”
Smitty, your eyes are gleaming
“Dear Mr. Brown, in regard to that stock”
Gee, boss, I was only dreaming

Getting tired, Miss Smith?
Oh, yes sir
Well, you’re fired, Miss Smith
You know best, sir
But I would like to know why
We’re getting married, you and I
Tell me, what is your reply?
Yes sir
Do I need book and pencil, too?
All I’ll ever need is you
You have taken your very last letter, Miss Smith
Yes sir!
