People Like You And Me [Russian translation]

Say, get a load o' that moon,

Look at those stars,

We get it all for free!

All the pretty birdies sing for

People like you and me!

You've heard of "Roses Are Red,

Violets Are Blue",

That's corny poetry!

Maybe corn is just the thing for

People like you and me!

Folks may say we're antiquated,

If they do, who cares?

So we're not sophisticated,

Leave it to the millionaires!

I'm gonna stick to the moon,

Stay with the stars,

That's my philosophy;

Nature must have thought of Spring for

People like you and me!

[With Tex Beneke]

Say, get a load o' those guys,

High in the skies,

Wingin' to victory;

Up and at 'em in the fight for

People like you and me!

Hey, get a load o' those gobs,

Doin' their jobs,

Keepin' the sea lanes free;

Just to make the future bright for

People like you and me!

You must put your Yankee heart and soul

In everything you do;

Keep 'em flyin',

Keep 'em rollin',

Uncle Sam'll see you through!

We'll have to roll up our sleeves,

Tighten our belts,

But through the dark we'll see

The lady with the liberty light for

People like you and you and you,

And people like me,

People like you and me!
