Blah! Blah! Blah!
(Ira Gershwin)

Published December, 1931.
Introduced by El Brendel (Jansen).
The "Russian" refrain was cut before the film was released.

Verse
I've written you a song
A beautiful routine.
(I hope you like it).

My technique can't be wrong"
I learned it from the screen.
(I hope you like it).
I studied all the rhymes that all the lovers sing;
Then just for you I wrote this little thing.

Refrain

Blah, blah, blah, blah, moon,
Blah, blah, blah, above;
Blah, blah, blah, blah, croon,
Blah, blah, blah, love.
Tra la la la tra la la la la, merry month of May;
Tra la la la tra la la la la, 'neath the clouds of gray.

Blah, blah, blah, your hair
Blah, blah, blah, your eyes
Blah, blah, blah, blah, care,
Blah, blah, blah, blah, skies.
Tra la la la, tra la la la la cottage for two
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, darling, with you!
