Lyrics as recorded by Judy Garland October 16, 1939: Released on Decca 2881Embrace me, My sweet embraceable you. Embrace me, You irreplaceable you. Just one look at you - my heart grew tipsy in me. You and you alone bring out the gypsy in me. I love all The many charms about you; Above all, I want my arms about you. Don't be a naughty baby, Come to papa - come to papa - do! My sweet embraceable you. I love all The many charms about you; Above all, I want my arms about you. Don't be a naughty baby, Come to papa - come to papa - do! My sweet embraceable you. Complete Lyrics, as written (Verse 1, Refrain 1 and Refrain 2 performed by Judy Garland for the filmGirl Crazy, 1943, but trimmed in the final film version) (Verse 1) Dozens of girls would storm up; I had to lock my door. Somehow I couldn't warm up To one before. What was it that controlled me? What kept my love life lean? My intuition told me You'd come on the scene. Lady, listen to the rhythm of my heartbeat, And you'll get just what I mean. (Refrain 1) Embrace me, My sweet embraceable you. Embrace me, You irreplaceable you. Just one look at you - my heart grew tipsy in me. You and you alone bring out the gypsy in me. I love all The many charms about you; Above all, I want my arms about you. Don't be a naughty baby, Come to papa - come to papa - do! My sweet embraceable you. (Verse 2) I went about reciting, "Here's one who'll never fail!" But I'm afraid the writing Is on the wall My nose I used to turn up When you'd besiege my heart; Now I completely burn up When you're slow to start. I'm afraid you'll have to take the consequences; You upset the apple cart. (Refrain 2) Embrace me, My sweet embraceable you. Embrace me, You irreplaceable you. In your arms I find love so delectable, dear. I'm afraid it isn't quite respectable, dear. But hang it! Come on, let's glorify love! Ding dang it! You'll shout "Encore!" if I love. Don't be a naughty papa, Come to baby - come to baby - do! My sweet embraceable you. (Encore Refrain) Danny: Dear lady, My silk-and-lace-able you; Dear lady, Be my embraceable you. You're the only one I love, yes, verily so! But you're much too shy, unnecessarily so! Molly: I'll try not To be so formal, my dear. Danny: Am I not A man who's normal, my dear? There's just one way to cheer me; Come to papa - come to papa - do! My sweet embraceable you. (Unused Refrain) Molly: You call me Your sweet embraceable you; You call me Your irreplaceable you When you talk that way, it's so delectable, dear, I'm afraid it isn't quite respectable, dear. When you, sir, Act so deliriously, Then who, sir, Could take you seriously? There's no one I'm more fond of, But I don't see any hurry to Be your embraceable you. |
