Greetings:
I'm working on some Gershwin music at the moment, and have been
surprised at how very short many of the songs are. I guess some of the
songs had a dance or instrumental breaks originally, and then the
first lyrics are just reprised after the break. However, it seems to
me that there must be a second set of lyrics for many of these songs,
but I just can't seem to find them. Can anyone enlighten me as to
whether there are second verses or alternate lyrics for the following
songs:
I Want to be a War Bride
I Got Rhythm
Slap That Bass
Fascinating Rhythm
Embraceable You (seems I've heard something about "silk and laceable
you" somewhere...)
Love Walked In
Nice Work if You Can Get It
Ideas as to where I might find the alternate lyrics would be most
appreciated! (Ira's "Lyrics on Several Occasions" has been of minimal
help, though there is the occasional gem uncovered in there...)
Cheers!
Amy :)
