George Gershwin
Hangin’ Around with You
(Verse 1)
[ANNE]
Once
You would hang around me
Hang
'Round me night and day
I
Thought that love had found me
When we became that way
Now
It's a different story
You're
Not a one-girl man
I
Heard you're in your glory
Playing the Dapper Dan
You may tell me you're a saint
But listen to my complaint
(Chorus 1)
What's the use of hangin' around with you?
Hangin' around with you
Hangin' around with you
Dearie?
I never know, I never know just where I stand
What's the use of bangin' around with you
Bangin' around with you
Bangin' around with you
Dearie?
You've got to give this little girl a bigger hand
You're not acting the beau
That I once used to know
I'm beginning to see
That I'm likely to be
On the shelf
If you want me hangin' around with you
Hangin' around with you
Hangin' around with you
Dearie
You've got to learn, you've got to learn to be yourself
(Verse 2)
[TIMOTHY]
I
Simply must deny it
I
Swear it isn't true
My
Heart is on a diet
Darlin', except for you
When
I'm with other damsels
Rea-
Lly I don't go far
I try to tell those mam'selles
Just what a peach you are
I've been so misunderstood
Though I've tried to be so good
(Chorus 2)
What's the use of hangin' around with you?
Hangin' around with you
Hangin' around with you
Dearie?
I never know, I never know just where I'm at
What's the use of bangin' around with you
Bangin' around with you
Bangin' around with you
Dearie?
Oh, I'm afraid you're forcing me to leave you flat
[ANNE]
Please don't be in a huff
It was only a bluff
Everything is in vain
If you mean to remain
So upstage
[TIMOTHY]
If you want me hangin' around with you
Hangin' around with you
Hangin' around with you
Dearie
You've got to learn, you've got to learn to act your age
