Everything I've Got Belongs to You

Seen at the Roseville Jazz Fest, performed by Avalon Swing...Here's where they learned the song:



Lyrics:

I have eyes for you to give you dirty looks,
I have words that do not come from children's books,
There's a trick with a knife I'm learnin' to do,
But everything I've got belongs to you!
I've a powerful anesthesia in my fist
And the perfect wrist to give your neck a twist!
Hammer lock holds, I've mastered a few,
But everything I've got belongs to you!
Share for share, share alike,
You get struck each time I strike!
Me for you, you for me,
I'll give you plenty of nothin'!
I'm not yours for better, but for worse,
And I've learned to give the well-known witch's curse!
I've a terrible tongue and a temper for two,
But everything I've got belongs to you!
Then at night we'll sleep and sleep,
Sleep and sleep and sleep and sleep,
And sleep and sleep,
I'll give you plenty of nothin'!
I'm not yours for better, but for worse,
And I've learned to give the well-known witch's curse!
I've a terrible tongue and a temper for two,
But everything I've got,
Oooh-ooh it's not a lot!
But everything I've got belongs to you!
Songwriters: Lorenz Hart / Richard Rodgers
