Isn’t It?
[NARRATOR, spoken]
One of the boys crashes a debutante party in Manhattan, and meets a beautiful girl who is not as much of a southern belle as she seems.

This is nice, isn't it?
Ah mean, the music
This is nice, isn't it?
Ah mean, the band
Don't you think
We make natural partners?
Ah mean, like food and drink
Or supply and demand?
We're so right, aren't we?
Ah mean, for dancing
Hold me tight, cling to me—
Ah mean, my hand!
Ah feel fine!
Ah'm aglow with a Sunday shine!
Could ah be falling in—?
Ah mean to say—
Well, anyway
Isn't it grand?
This is nice, isn't it?
Ah mean, the music
This is nice, isn't it?
Ah mean, the band
Don't you think

Ah mean, like food and drink

Hold me tight, cling to me—

Ah feel fine!
Ah'm aglow with a Sunday shine!
