Nice Work if You Can Get It — текст песни (Billie Holiday)

George and ira gershwin



The man who only lives for making money

Lives a life that isnt necessarily sunny

Likewise the man who works for fame

Theres no guarantee that time wont erase his name

The fact is, the only work that really brings enjoyment

Is the kind that is for girl and boys meant

Fall in love you wont regret it

Thats the best work of all if you can get it



Holding hands at midnight

neath the starry sky

Nice work if you can get it

And you can get it if you try

Scrolling with the one girl

Sighing after sigh

Nice work if you can get it

And you can get it if you try



Just imagen someone waiting at the cottage door

Where two hearts become one

Who could ask for more

Loving one who loves you

And taking that vow

Nice work if you can get it

And you can get it if

Wont you tell me how?
