I Like the Likes of You - Jeri Southern

Written by：E.Y.Harburg/Vernon Duke

Only last Saturday

Or was it yesterday

I was rehearsing a speech

Really I think it's a peach

Hope you don't think it's a breach

Of recognized etiquette

I'm from Connecticut

You see the state I'm in

I mean I'm in a mess

What was that speech

Oh yes yes

I like the likes of you

I like the things you do

I mean I like the likes of you

I like your eyes of blue

I think they're blue don't you

I mean I like your eyes of blue

Oh dear if I could only say what I mean

I mean if I could mean what I say

That is I mean to say that I mean to say that

I like the likes of you

Your looks are pure deluxe

Looks like I like the likes of you

Oh dear if I could only say what I mean

I mean if I could mean what I say

That is I mean to say that I mean to say that

I like the likes of you

Your looks are pure deluxe

Looks like I like the likes of you
