Gloria Swanson (Film Soundtrack) - 1931
Phil Hughes & His High Hatters - 1931




Most things in life I've plenty of
What good's this, that or the other
If you haven't got love

Three meals a day, a roof above
What good's this, that or the other
If you haven't got love

Life is sweet, but love provides the zest of it
Give me love and you can keep the rest of it
I'll have the best of it

For love and joy go hand in glove
What good's this, that or the other
If you haven't got love

As recorded for commercial record release on 
Brunswick Panatrope Records by GLORIA SWANSON:


I have the proper number
Of eyes and mouth and arms
Also arms and legs and things
And luckily, some clothes

I've always been romantic
I have a family tree
Now, if fate would send a mate
How happy I would be

Most things in life I've plenty of
What good's this, that or the other
If you haven't got love

Three meals a day, a roof above
What good's this, that or the other
If you haven't got love

Life is sweet, but love provides the zest of it
Give me love and you can keep the rest of it
I'll have the best of it

For love and joy go hand in glove
What good's this, that or the other
If you haven't got love

(SPOKEN:)
(You know, most things in life, I've plenty of)
(But what good's this, that or the other)
(If you haven't got love)

(I've three big meals a day and a, a gorgeous roof above)
(But what good's this, that or the other)
(If you haven't got love)

Life is sweet, but love provides the zest of it
Give me love and you can keep the rest of it
I'll have the best of it

For love and joy go hand in glove
What good's this, that or the other
If you haven't got love
