I'm Getting Myself Ready for You

Gee, I'm lucky to get you here

What a wonderful treat!

Just look over the menu, dear

And say what you'll have to eat

If I say I'll have nothing, dear

Please don't think me extreme

But since we've met, I'm so upset

I've gone on a regime

I've cut out eggs and turkey legs

With corned beef hash I'm all through

'Cause I'm getting myself ready for you

I'll never stoop to onion soup

And pork and beans are taboo

'Cause I'm getting myself ready for you

To be sure of being ready for you, dear, in every way

I'm building the perfect physique

And besides which, I want you to holler "Hooray!"

When first you see me in my, so to speak

If you still feel I need a meal

I'll risk an olive or two

But I'm getting myself ready for you

I'll have some eggs and turkey legs

You'll pardon me if I do

'Cause I'm getting myself ready for you

Or maybe I had better try a dozen oysters or two

'Cause I'm getting myself ready for you

To be sure of being worthy of you, dear, in every way

I must have a little to eat

And besides which, I want you to holler "Hooray!"

When first I get you in a bridal suite

And just before we lock the door

I'll take a brandy or two

'Cause I'm getting myself ready for you

I'll have some eggs and turkey legs

You'll pardon me if I do

'Cause I'm getting myself ready for you

But maybe I had better try a dozen oysters or two

'Cause I'm getting myself ready for you

To be sure of being worthy of you, dear, in every way

I must have a little to eat

And besides which, I want you to holler "Hooray!"

When first I get you in a bridal suite

And just before we lock the door

I'll take a brandy or two

'Cause I'm getting myself ready for you

Ready for you

Ready for you

An egg, a turkey leg, and I'm ready
