YOU MEET THE NICEST PEOPLE IN YOUR DREAMS
(Al Hoffman / Al Goodhart / Manny Kurtz (aka Mann Curtis) )

as recorded by
Thomas "Fats" Waller & his Rhythm


How d'ye do!
Nice people, fine people, Arabian people, yes yes!

I've met some very nice people,
Some very very very nice people,
But you meet the nicest people in your dreams!
It's funny but it's true,
That's where I first met you,
And you're the nicest paradisest thing I ever knew!

I've looked the universe over,
>From wacky Nagasaki to Dover,
And now that we have met how sweet it seems!
I love you more the more I know you,
Which only goes to show you
You meet the nicest people in your dreams!

I've looked this universe over,
>From wacky Nagasaki to Dover,
And now that we have met how sweet it seems!
I love you more the more I know ya,
Which only goes to show ya
You meet the nicest people in your dreams!

Oh fine people, friend people, most rambumptious people in your dreams, yes yes!
