THESE 'N' THAT 'N' THOSE
Edgar Fairchild

Billie Holiday w Teddy Wilson & his Orch   
rec Dec 3rd 1935 New York



These are nights for love
And that's the moon above,
And those are eyes that say in mine,
"Why can't we combine
These 'n' that 'n' those?"

These are moments rare
And that's a comfy chair,
and those are lips that should be kissed.
How can we resist
These 'n' that 'n' those?

Holding conversation
Is no recreation,
And we have so much more to do!
I'd be disrespectful
If I were neglectful
Of all that nature gave to you!

These two hearts are bold
And that's a hand to hold,
And those two arms have room to spare,
Where we both can share
These 'n' that 'n' those!
