Mad About The Boy - Gertrude Lawrence

[00:01.00]Mad About the Boy -Gertrude Lawrence
[00:12.419]I met him at a party just a couple of years ago
[00:16.436]He was rather over hearty and ridiculous
[00:19.795]But as I'd seen him on the screen
[00:22.714]He cast a certain spell
[00:27.924]I basked in his attraction for a couple of hours or so
[00:32.483]His manners were a fraction too meticulous
[00:36.72]If he was real or not I couldn't tell
[00:40.539]But like a silly fool I fell
[00:49.98]Mad about the boy
[00:51.735]I know it's stupid to be mad about the boy
[00:56.152]I'm so ashamed of it but must admit
[00:59.910]The sleepless nights I've had about the boy
[01:06.189]On the silver screen
[01:08.608]He melts my foolish heart in every single scene
[01:13.77]Although I'm quite aware that here and there
[01:16.605]Are traces of the cad about the boy
[01:23.03]Lord knows I'm not a fool girl
[01:26.921]I really shouldn't care
[01:30.521]Lord knows I'm not a schoolgirl
[01:33.160]In the flurry of her first affair
[01:41.439]Will it ever cloy this odd diversity of misery and joy
[01:48.137]I'm feeling quite insane and young again
[01:51.975]And all because I'm mad about the boy
[02:32.904]I'm hardly sentimental
[02:36.714]Love isn't so sublime
[02:40.314]I have to pay my rental
[02:43.223]I can't afford to waste much time
[02:50.351]If I could employ
[02:53.129]A little magic that would finally destroy
[02:57.226]This dream that pains me and enchains me
[03:00.954]But I can't because I'm mad about the boy
