Sailor Beware
Bing Crosby · Other Songs - Bing Crosby
Every morning la la la la la la la la la la, poor thing
My heart is taking lessons, conscientiously
Every moment la la la la la la la la, it amazes me
And oh, how hard it labors to try and make the grade
It must annoy the neighbors, practicing upon a serenade
My heart is taking lessons, and I notice too
It began to la la la la la la la when I looked at you
My heart is taking lessons, learning how to sing
Every morning la la la la la la la la la la, poor thing
My heart is taking lessons, conscientiously
Every moment la la la la la la la la, it amazes me
And oh, how hard it labors to try and make the grade
It must annoy the neighbors, practicing upon a serenade
My heart's taking lessons, and I notice too
It began to la la la la la la la when I looked at you
