Lady, last Saturday,
Or was it yesterday?
I was rehearsing a speech.
Really I think it’s a peach.
Hope you don’t think it a breach
  of recognized etiquette.
I’m from Connecticut,
You see the state that I’m in,
I mean, I’m in a mess.
What was that speech?
Oh yes, yes. 

I like the likes of you.
I like the things you do.
I mean, I like the likes of you.

Lyric excerpt: “I Like the Likes of You” (1933)
words by Yip Harburg; music by Vernon Duke
From Ziegfeld Follies, 1933-34 edition.
