YOU'RE SLIGHTLY TERRIFIC
Lew Pollack (m) Sidney D Mitchell (l)   1936

Tony Martin w Victor Young & his Orch   rec 1936



You're slightly terrific,
Speaking specifically,
Slightly gigantic,
Mean it romantically,
More than stupendous,
My love's tremendous
For you!

No star in a picture
Could be so glamarous,
You're such a picture
Of everything amorous!
What a construction,
A major production,
That's you!

I saw a preview of you,
You made a hit from the start;
Let's sign a contract or two,
You'll be the star of my heart!

You're slightly terrific,
Speaking specifically,
Super colossal,
Suit my philosophy;
Being specific,
You're slightly terrific
To me!
