More Than You Know

I’m sure it’s safe to guess that you

Can sing the tune for “Tea for Two”,

Or maybe even try to croak a

Little bit of “Carioca”,

Perhaps, although you know it’s sappy,

You sometimes hum “Sometimes I’m Happy”,

Or maybe shyly croon along

When someone sings “Without a Song”;


If this is you, you’ll know that Youmans

Wrote snappy songs for happy humans.
