WHAT DOES IT TAKE
James Van Heusen, Johnny Burke

Nat King Cole


It takes an earthquake to move a mountain
It takes the typhoon to churn up the sea
But what does it take to make you take to me?

It takes a heatwave to melt an iceberg
It takes a blossom to bother a bee
But what does it take to make you take to me?

You could have your way
You could have the moon
Anything you say, only say it soon

When you're around it takes the feather to knock me over
It takes the nitwit to tell you I'm free
Cuz, baby I'm just your humble servant making his fervent plea
What does it take to make you take to me?

(musical interlude)

You could have your way
You could have the moon
Anything you say, only say it soon

When you're around it takes the feather to knock me over
It takes the nitwit to tell you I'm free
Cuz, baby I'm just your humble servant making his fervent plea
What does it take to make you take to me?
