[1st verse:]
Pretty young Mabel was helping her mother
Clearing the table and dressing her brother
Washing the dishes, feeding the fishes
As ev'ry girl should do
Johnny dropped in and soon made himself handy
Helping his Mabel dear
When all the work was thro' and nothing more to do
He whispered in her ear
[Refrain:]
Is there anything else that I can do for you?
Tell me do, come on and ask me to
I've got hours to spare, my dear, and then a few
Tell me Mabel, I'm able to do anything else
So don't you be afraid
Pretty maid, I've learned the tailor trade
And somehow I've been guessin'
That your lips need some pressin'
Tell me, dear, is there anything else?
[2nd verse:]
Pretty young Mabel could not see the joke, so said"
In the stable there's wood to be broke," so
There was no stopping, John started chopping
Chopp'd for an hour or two
Soon work and Johnny became perfect strangers
He did the best he could
Calling his Mabel near, he whispered, "Listen, dear
I'm not so strong for wood!"
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.
