Hi Monique,

I have all of these songs. I just have to type them out for you. Now that you are a member of the Hideaway, I will be posting them there for you. Give me a few days to get them typed up for you.

So glad that you are now in the Hideaway, it helps me to help you so much more than I could before! Talk to you soon!

Hugs,
Carlene

Hi Monique,

This song is from the 1939 Musical, "Du Barry Was A Lady"; words and music by Cole Porter.

But In The Morning, No
Introduced by Ethel Merman and Bert Lahr.
[This song could not be sung on the air for many years. “My aim was to achieve as
complete a version of the lyric as possible, utilizing every version of all the various
refrains”, Porter essayed.}

HE:
Love affairs among gentility
Hit the rocks with great agility
Either because of income or incompatibility.
