Ruth Etting - Could I? Certainly I Could Lyrics
I beg to announce to you,With men I'm completely through,Finished with them all, big or small, short or tall!The door to my heart is shut,No more will I lose my nutOver movie stars, sheiks in Packard cars,I hate all the men!But:Could I care for that big boy there,With the dimples and wavy hair?Oh, could I? I certainly could!Could I sit on that papa's knee?Could I let him "sweet mama" me?Could I? I certainly could!What lovin' wouldn't he get, wouldn't he get?Hot oven, couldn't we pet, couldn't we pet?Could I take him on moonlight trips,Fry sweet kisses on those hot lips?Could I? I certainly could![Piano vamping]Could I? I certainly could![Piano vamping]Could I? I certainly could![Piano vamping]Could I? I certainly could!Could I care for those big brown eyes?Could I buy him his shirts and ties?Oh, could I? I certainly could!Could I care for those great big arms?Could I care for his lovin' charms?Could I? I certainly could!What lovin' wouldn't he get, wouldn't he get?Hot oven, couldn't we pet, couldn't we pet?Could I give him a thrill or two?Are you asking? Well, I'm telling you!Could I? I certainly could!
