YOU CAN'T LOVE 'EM ALL
(Jimmy Van Heusen (m) Sammy Cahn (l) )
as recorded by Dean Martin
1956
"Hello doll!"
"Hello doll!"
"Eight?"
"Date!"
"Hello doll!"
"Hello doll!"
"Ten?"
"Amen!"
"Hello doll!"
"Hello doll!"
"Twelve?"
"Twelve fifteen!"
"Bye bye!"
"Hello doll!"
You can't love 'em all, you can't love 'em all,
Love may be wonderful but the chances are small!
You can't land each one that passes by,
But you can try, you can try, you can try!
You can't kiss 'em all, oh you can't kiss 'em all,
The ones who have tried have found that they're not quite that tall!
They'll call you an optimistic dope,
But you can hope, you can hope, you can hope!
They've been able to prove
There are mountains you can move!
They've been able to show
There's a way to make rain and snow!
But you simply can't love 'em all, no you can't love 'em all,
'Cause one day that one gal will catch your eye,
And you'll know why, you'll know why, you'll know why!
'Cause one day that one chick will make you sigh,
And you'll know why, yeah you'll know why,
You'll know why you can't love 'em all!
"Hello doll!"
