Wouldn’t It Be Loverly

1956 by Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe,
Written for the musical “My Fair Lady” which is based on the 1912 George Bernard Shaw play, “Pygmalion” .

All I want is a room somewhere
Far away from the cold night air
With one enormous chair
Oh, wouldn’t it be loverly?

Lots of chocolate for me to eat
Lots of coal makin’ lots of heat
Warm face, warm hands, warm feet
Oh, wouldn’t it be loverly?

Oh so loverly sittin’ abso-bloomin’-lutely still
I would never move till Spring crept over mi window sill

Someone’s head restin’ on my knee
Warm and tender as he can be
Who takes good care of me
Oh, wouldn’t it be loverly?

Who takes good care of me
Oh, wouldn’t it be loverly? (loverly)
Loverly (lovely)
Oh, wouldn’t it be loverly?
