I’ll take romance
While my heart is young and eager to fly
I’ll give my heart a try
I’ll take romance
I’ll take romance
While my arms are strong and eager for you
I’ll give my arms their cue
I’ll take romance
So, my lover when you want me call me
In the hush of the evening
When you call me in the hush of the evening
I’ll rush to my first real romance
While my heart is young and eager and gay
I’ll give my heart away
I’ll take romance
Instrumental break replaces first line of next verse
While my arms are strong and eager for you
I’ll give my arms their cue
I’ll take romance
So, my lover when you want me call me
In the hush of the evening
When you call me in the hush of the evening
I’ll rush to my first real romance
While my heart is strong and eager and gay
I’ll give my heart away
I’ll take romance
I’ll take romance …
I’ll take romance …
Music by Ben Oakland, Lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II
