[1st verse:]
Abie Bloom loved Miss Rosie Cohen
Abie as a bus'ness man was in a class alone
Rosie's family were satisfied
Abie owned a clothing store, a bus'ness man
Ev'ry month Rosie's father Mose
Walked in Abie's clothing store and took a suit of clothes
One day Abie drew Rosie near
And whispered these words in her ear:
[Refrain:]
Bus'ness is bus'ness, Miss Rosie Cohen
I've got to pay for ev'rything I own
Seven suits of clothes your father took out from my store
All he says is "Charge it to my future son-in-law"
Tell your expensive father C.O.D.
Don't mean, "Come on down to my store"
For
Ev'ry little dollar carries int'rest all it's own
Bus'ness is bus'ness, Rosie Cohen!
[2nd verse:]
Abie said, "Listen Rosie dearEv'ry month a suit means just a dozen suits a year
Seven years and then your father Mose
He will have enough to start a clothing store
Then again, father is no fool
He can tell a cotton suit from one that's made of wool
Since I fell in love with you Rose
Your father is so hard on clothes
Irving Berlin, pseudonimo di Izrail' Moiseevic Bejlin (1888-1989), è stato uno dei compositori americani più influenti del XX secolo. Nato a Temesvár, in Romania, da una famiglia ebrea, si trasferì negli Stati Uniti all'età di 5 anni. Iniziò la sua carriera come cantante e pianista nei locali di New York, scrivendo le sue prime canzoni mentre lavorava come cameriere. Nel 1911 ottenne il suo primo successo con "Alexander's Ragtime Band", che divenne un inno nazionale durante la Prima Guerra Mondiale. Berlin compose centinaia di canzoni, tra cui "White Christmas", "God Bless America" e "This Is a Lovely Day". Le sue opere sono caratterizzate da melodie orecchiabili, testi semplici ma efficaci e una profonda comprensione del gusto popolare americano. Berlin ha vinto numerosi premi, tra cui l'Oscar alla carriera nel 1971. La sua musica continua ad essere eseguita e apprezzata in tutto il mondo.
