Lyrics/Music J.Yellen/L.Pollack



Young and old, and in between

Six or sixty or sixteen

When you think that fate has been unkind

Cause you haven't many toys

Like some other girls and boys

Here's a little rhyme worth remembering sometime



------

What makes life the sweetest, bestest and completest

Not a big doll house, or a Mickey Mouse

But the right somebody to love

Icecream cake and candy, may be fine and dandy

But if you ask me, there not one two three

With the right somebody to love



One you really care for

And is yours to have and keep

One you say a pray'r for

In your Now I lay me down to sleep

Tho your not quite seven, what is most like heaven

Its the joy that's found, with your arms around

The right somebody to love



------

What makes life the sweetest, bestest and competest

Not what you and I go out and buy

But the right somebody to love

You may have a bankful, for which to be thankful

Nothing you posess brings you happiness

Like the right somebody to love



One you really care for

And is yours to have and keep

One you say a pray'r for

In your Now I lay me down to sleep

All the milk and honey, pockets full of money

Cannot take the place, of the sweetest embrace

Of the right somebody to love
