WHY CAN'T I BE LIKE YOU?
>From the film "Fox Movietone Follies Of 1929"
(Con Conrad / Archie Gottler / Sidney D. Mitchell)



Dixie Lee (Film Soundtrack) - 1929


I love to window shop
I always have to stop
And look at beautiful ladies

Each time that I compare
Their clothes with what I wear
It makes me sigh, I want to cry

Why can't I be like you
And look the way you do
To me you always seem 
Too lovely for words
Lovely feathers make lovely birds

A yard of silk and lace
Add to your charm and grace
You're in my dreams
But my dreams never come true
Why can't I be like you
