As performed by TONY MARTIN
in the 1936 film "Banjo On My Knee":
I never cared to share my devotion
Love never touched my heart
I knew nothing of the thrill in store
I never dared to show my emotion
Now I'm about to start
Funny, I have never felt this way before
Mmmm, there's something in the air
That warns me to beware tonight
There's something in the air
Mmmm, there's music in the breeze
I never saw the stars so bright
There's something in the air
Though I find there's danger in your eyes
The thrill is new
I've been blind, but now I realise
What love can do
Mmmm, I feel it everywhere
So whisper you'll be mine tonight
There's something in the air
Lah-dah-dah-dah-dee, there's something in the air
That warns me to beware tonight
There's something in the air
Lah-dee-dee-dah-dah-dee, there's music in the breeze
I never saw a star so bright
There's something in the air
Though I find there's danger in your eyes
The thrill is new
I've been blind, but now I realise
What love can do
Mmmm, I feel it everywhere
So whisper you'll be mine tonight
There's something in the air

THERE'S SOMETHING IN THE AIR
as recorded by Peg La Centra
with Artie Shaw & his Orch 1930's
Mmm, there's something in the air
That warns me to beware tonight,
There's something in the air!
Mmm, there's music in the breeze,
I never saw the stars so bright,
There's something in the air!
Though I find there's danger in your eyes,
The thrill is new.
I've been blind, but now I realise
What love can do!
Mmm, I feel it everywhere,
Oh whisper you'll be mine tonight,
There's something in the air!
