Quote of the Month

You’re the weakness that cures me
And nothing else could.
My fever assures me,
Baby, you’re doin’ me good.
You’re my best medication,
I’m ready to shout.
You’re my operation,
Something to talk about.

When girls came near me, dear,
I was a cold barometer,
But then when you appear
I’m just a hot thermometer.
All my nights were spent sleeping,
Say, what could I do?
When we are housekeeping
Baby, you’ll cure that too.

Lyric excerpt: “You’re the Cure for What Ails Me (Baby, You’re Doin’ Me Good)”
Words by Yip Harburg. Music by Jay Gorney.
From The Twentieth Amendment (1930)
This song, the lyric of which was rewritten to Harold Arlen’s music for The Singing Kid (1936) was performed by Jack Haley (the future Tin Man of The Wizard of Oz) and Evelyn Hoey.
