Nice work if you can get it
Das Lied des Tages, wundervoller Text, wundervolle Melodie (überhaupt muss ich sagen, dass meine „Best of Gershwin“-Doppel-CD unbestritten unter die schönste Musik der Welt einzuordnen ist!):
Ella Fitzgerald — Nice Work If You Can Get It
Ah… Werft einen Blick auf den tiefsinnigen Text:
The man who only lives for making money
Lives a life that isn’t necessarily sunny
Likewise the man who works for fame
There’s no guarantee that time won’t erase his name
The fact is, the only work that really brings enjoyment
Is the kind that is for girl and boy meant
Fall in love and you won’t regret it
That’s the best work of all, if you can get it
Holding hands at midnight
‚Neath a starry sky
Nice work if you can get it
And you can get it if you try
Strolling with the one girl
Sighing sigh after sigh
Nice work if you can get it
And you can get it if you try
