Though written in 1928 for an unproduced operetta called East Is West, the Gershwin brothers' "Embraceable You" was not sung in public until two years later when 19-year-old Ginger Rogers did the honors in Girl Crazy. Note the way brother Ira managed to write three sets of four-syllable rhymes in a slow-tempo ballad without jarring the romantic mood so beautifully set by brother George.

Embrace me,
My sweet Embraceable You!
Embrace me,
You irreplaceable you!
Just one look at you, my heart grew tipsy in me;
You and you alone bring out the gypsy in me!
I love all the many charms about you;
Above all I want my arms about you.
Don't be a naughty baby,
Come to papa, Come to papa, do!
My sweet Embraceable You!
