Cole Porter
Give Him the Ooh-La-La
Say you're fond of fancy things
Diamond clips and emerald rings
If you want your man to come through
Give him the ooh-la-la
Say your car is asked to stop
By a handsome traffic cop
'Less you want a ticket or two
Give him the ooh-la-la
If poor Napoleon at Waterloo-la-la
Had had an army of debutantes
To give the British the well-known ooh-la-la
He'd have changed the history of France
When your favorite Romeo
Grabs his hat and starts to go
Don't reveal the fact that you are blue
Don't break down and start to boo hoo
There's but one thing for you-la-la
To-la-la do-la-la
Dance a hula and give him the ooh-la-la
La-la, la-la
Give him the ooh-la-la
If poor Napoleon at Waterloo-la-la
Had had an army of debutantes
To give the British the well-known ooh-la-la
He'd have changed the history of France
Oh, when your favorite Romeo
Grabs his hat and starts to go
Here's the one thing for you-la-la
To-la-la do-la-la
Dance a hula and give him the ooh-la-la
La-la
The ooh-la-la
The ooh-la-la
The ooh-la-la
The ooh-la-la, ooh-la-la, ooh-la-la...
La-la
La-la
La-la
