I LOVE YOU
From the musical production "Little Jessie James" (1923) 
In "Stalag 17", at the Christmas celebration in the Air Force Sergeants' barracks, Animal (Robert Strauss) 
sings the song to Shapiro (Harvey Lembeck) while they are dancing and Animal is fantasising that Shapiro 
in his mop "wig" is Betty Grable.

I love you 
I love you 
Is all that I can say 

I love you 
I love you 
The same old words 
I'm saying in the same old way 

I love you 
I love you 
Three words that are divine 
And so, my dear, 
I'm waiting to hear 
The words that make you mine
