I'M GONNA PUT YOU IN YOUR PLACE
(George W. Meyer / Bob Rothberg)

Fats Waller


I'm Gonna Put you in your place
and your place is in my arms
I'm gonna tell you to your face
how much I care

Though I know that you're a very
popular person
This dream that I'm nursin'
could never come true
without you

I'm gonna really set you right
Right where I can hold you tight
With all your others palsy-walsy's
you must part

Cause to end this merry chase
I'm gonna put you in your place
And your place is here
In my arms, sweetheart!
