More quotes by Ira Gershwin
I'm a little lamb who's lost in the wood.
Ira Gershwin
Life is one long jubilee.
Ira Gershwin
If I'm a guy who doesn't seem so merry, It's just because I'm so misunderstood. When I was young I ate a dictionary, And that did not do me a bit of good. For I've absorbed so many words and phrases— They drive me dizzy when I want to speak. I start explaining but each person gazes As if I spoke in Latin or in Greek.
Ira Gershwin
Summer time an' the livin' is easy, Fish are jumpin' an' the cotton is high. Oh, yo' daddy's rich, and yo' ma' is good-lookin', So hush, little baby, don' yo' cry.
Ira Gershwin
Love is sweeping the country.
Ira Gershwin
Deep, unspeakable suffering may well be called a baptism, a regeneration, the initiation into a new state.
Ira Gershwin
I got daisies In green pastures.
Ira Gershwin
There's a somebody I'm longing to see, I hope that he, turns out to be, someone to watch over me.
Ira Gershwin
They all laughed at Christopher Columbus When he said the world was round.
Ira Gershwin
One can be very happy without demanding that others agree with them.
Ira Gershwin
I'm bidin' my time, 'Cause that's the kinda guy I'm.
Ira Gershwin
The way you wear your hat, The way you sip your tea, The mem'ry of all that -- No, no! They can't take that away from me!
Ira Gershwin
I got rhythm, I got music, I got my man- Who could ask for anything more?
Ira Gershwin
Holding hands at midnight 'Neath a starry sky... Nice work if you can get it And you can get it -- if you try.
Ira Gershwin
If you'll promise not to cry, Baby, I will kiss you by-and-by—Maybe! Though you're six feet three, You will always be Nothing but a Baby, dear, to me.
Ira Gershwin
Oh, lady be good To me.
Ira Gershwin
Summertime And the livin' is easy, Fish are jumpin', and the cotton is high.
Ira Gershwin
S wonderful! 'S marvelous! That you should care for me!
Ira Gershwin
