Paul, Doris Day does sing this song beautifully, and rarely sung in that slower beat :)

I never liked Slade, I found their sound very aggressive and annoying - I called it Instant Headache Music. Didn't like their look either!

I never really liked this song---until I heard it on a recent Johnny Mathis album--The Broadway album-then I quite liked it-I think Doris Day sings it just a bit too slowly for me.

Here's a new verse that was featured on Michael Feinstein's American Songbook TV show on PBS---
It was performed by Bobby Short.............I would not have known the answer till I viewed the show.
I haven't heard this song in a long time, but it was done by Liza Minelli, Debbie Reynolds, Jeri Southern, etc.

Only last Saturday or was it yesterday?
I was rehearsing a speech; Really I think it's a peach.
Hope you don't think it's a breach
Of recognized etiquette(I'm from Connecticut).
You see the state I'm in; I mean I'm in a mess.
What was that speech? Oh yes,yes.....

Ok Henry. the Refrain is.... I LIKE THE LIKES OF YOU . :) Here's an easy one :)

Why Do I Do Just as you say.
Why must i Just Give you your way.
Why Do I Sigh, why don't I try to forget.
It must have been that something lovers call fate
kept them saying ..i have to wait .
I saw them all just douldn't fall till we met. :)

I love Liza Mineli singing "I like the likes of you" but I have never heard her sing that verse.

I guess it's your turn, as I must research to find a tougher song verse.......

THEY WILL SHARE

If I am right and someone has one ready, please go ahead.
