How About You - Oscar Peterson

When a girl meets boy\nLife can be a joy\nBut the note they end on\nWill depend on\nLittle pleasures they will share\nSo let us compare\nI like New York in June, how about you?\nI like a Gershwin tune, how about you?\nI love a fireside when a storm is due.\nI like potato chips, moonlight and motor trips,\nHow about you?\nI’m mad about good books, can’t get my fill,\nAnd Franklin Roosevelt’s looks give me a thrill.\nHolding hands at the movie show,\nWhen all the lights are low\nMay not be new, but I like it,\nHow about you?\nI like Jack Benny’s jokes.\nTo a degree.\nI love the common folks.\nThat includes me.\nI like to window shop on 5th Avenue.\nI like banana splits, late supper at the Ritz,\nHow about you?\nI love to dream of fame, maybe I’ll shine.\nI’d love to see your name right beside mine.\nI can see we’re in harmony,\nLooks like we both agree\nOn what to do,\nAnd I like it, how about you?
