[1st refrain:]
[Mary:]
You're a sentimental guy
It's a charge that you'll deny
But a song of Home and Mother
In a pinch could make you cry
And it seems my nat'ral bent
Is to love a sentimental guy
You can always knock them dead
With some clever thing you've said
But your heart is not in tune with
What is running through your head
And I'm perfectly content
Just to love a sentimental guy
You think your the type for Broadway
You prowl it from night till dawn
You really belong in Yonkers
With a garden and a lawn
Tho' I never heard you say
In the ordinary way
That you're simply wild about me
Still I know there'll come a day
When my evenings will be spent
With a very sentimental guy
[2nd refrain:]
[Wilson:]
You're as wrong as you can be
In your estimate of me
When the rent for my apartment
Is delayed a month or three
If some tears will save the rent
I'm a very sentimental guy
When I'm speaking soft and low
To a copper that I know
Who is taking in a pal
And I would like him to let go
If a sob will get consent
I'm a very sentimental guy
I melt with the breath of springtime
When grass starts to green the lawn
I get very sentimental
As I take my coat to pawn
[Mary:]
So you think and so you say
In your clever sort of way
But I know it won't be long before
There'll come that happy day
When my evenings will be spent
With a very sentimental guy
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.
