| ISN'T IT ROMANTIC? |
| Music by: Richard Rodgers Lyrics by: Lorenz Hart |
| Homefront: Played in 'When the Stars Begin to Fall' when Jeff turned on his car radio on his date with Judy. Also in the same episode when Ginger asked Judy for advice on how to deal with breaking up with Jeff. Ruth hummed a few bars of the song to Mike when they were listening to the Kahns fight in their cabin. |
| The Song: Originally written for the 1932 Maurice Chevalier musical film 'Love Me Tonight'. The original lyrics were specific to the characters and locations of the movie, so Hart wrote a new lyric for commercial release. Recorded by many artists including Ella Fitzgerald, Mel Torme, Chet Baker and Tony Bennett and also heard in many Paramount movies such as Sabrina (because the studio didn't have to pay royalties on its use) |
| Lyrics: I've never met you, yet never doubt, dear; I can't forget you, I've thought you out, dear. I know your profile and I know the way you kiss, just the things I miss on a night like this. If dreams are made of imagination I'm not afraid of my own creation. With all my heart, my heart is here for you to take. Why should I quake? I'm not awake. Isn't it romantic? Music in the night, a dream that can be heard. Isn't it romantic? Moving shadows write the oldest magic word. I hear the breezes playing in the trees above While all the world is saying you were meant for love. Isn't it romantic Merely to be young on such a night as this? Isn't it romantic? Every note that's sung is like a lover's kiss. Sweet symbols in the moonlight, Do you mean that I will fall in love per chance? Isn't it romance? (as sung by Maurice Chevalier in 'Love Me Tonight') My face is glowing, I'm energetic. The art of sewing I found poetic. My needle punctuates the rhythm of romance. I don't give a stitch if I don't get rich. A custom tailor who has no custom is like a sailor, no one will trust 'em. But there is magic in the music of my shears. I shed no tears, lend me your ears. Isn't it romantic? Soon I will have found some girl that I adore. Isn't it romantic? While I sit around my love can scrub the floor. She'll kiss me every hour or she'll get the sack and when I take a shower she can scrub my back. Isn't it romantic? On a moonlight night she'll cook me onion soup. Kiddies are romantic and if we don't fight we soon will have a troupe. We'll help the population, it's a duty that we owe to dear old France. Isn't it romance? |
