THE EGG AND I
Harry Akst, Herman Ruby, Bert Kalmar and Al Jolson

Dinah Shore with the Sonny Burke Orchestra


He's such a good egg;
He's a regular guy.
You'll seldom strike
To characters like
The Egg and I.

He's such a good egg;
We're just bound to get by -
Whatever's in store,
It's good enough for 
The Egg and I.

He's no "Information, Please".
So what? I'm not the kind to care.
I can overlook his flaws
Because he knows what makes me tick.

Here's what we pray for 
In the sweet bye-and-bye:
A bundle of love, facsimile of
The Egg and I.
