IRVING BERLIN lyrics - If That's Your Idea Of A Wonderful Time (Take Me Home)

[1st verse:]

Johnny took Geraldine out one night to show her a wonderful time

When they sat down in a Cabaret, he bought two cigars for a dime

"Bring us a couple of sodas" Johnny cried when the waiter drew near

After an hour Miss Geraldine whispered in Johnny's ear



[Refrain:]

If that's your idea of a wonderful time

Take me home, take me home

I want you to know that I'm choking

From that five cent cigar that you're smoking

You came out with a one dollar bill

You've got eighty cents left of it still

If that's your idea of a wonderful time

Take me home



[2nd verse:]

Johnny looked foolish and said "My dear, the evening has only begun

I'll take you down to a picture show where we'll have a barrel of fun

I know the fellow who owns the place, I'll ask him to pass us inside"

Geraldine looked into Johnny's face, shaking her head, she cried
