WHAT IS THERE TO SAY?
(Vernon Duke (m) E Y "Yip" Harburg (l) 1933)

Chris Connor 1954
Rosemary Clooney 1957


as recorded by Chris Connor
with The Ellis Larkins Trio
August 1954 New York

What is there to say
And what is there to do?
The thrill I've been seeking
Has practically speaking come true!

So what is there to say
And what is there to do?
I knew in a moment
Contentment and whole meant just you!

You are so lovable, so livable,
Your wonders are quite unforgivable!
You're made to marvel at
And words to that effect, so

What is there to say
And what is there to do?
My heart's in a deadlock,
I'd even face wedlock with you!

You are so lovable, so livable,
Your beauty is quite unforgivable!
You're made to marvel at
And words to that effect, so

What is there to say
And what is there to do?
My heart's in a deadlock,
I'd even face wedlock with you!


as recorded by Rosemary Clooney & The Hi-Lo's
with Frank Comstock & his Orchestra
1957

What is there to say
And what is there to do?
The dream I've been seeking
Has practically speaking come true!

What is there to say
And how will I pull through?
I knew in a moment
Contentment and whole meant just you!

You are so lovable, so livable,
Your beauty is just unforgivable!
You're made to marvel at
And words to that effect, so

What is there to say
And what is there to do?
My heart's in a deadlock,
I'd even face wedlock with you!

What is there to say
And what is there to do?
The dream I've been seeking
Has practically speaking come true!

What is there to say,
How will I pull through?
I knew in a moment
Contentment and whole meant just you!

You are so lovable, so livable,
Your beauty is just unforgivable!
You're made to marvel at
And words to that effect, so

What is there to say
And what is there to do?
My heart's in a deadlock,
I'd even face wedlock with you!
