Lyrics

I've always love singing theaters songs because

They tell a story and uh

This next song that I'm about to sing is from Show Boat

Which is on its way back to Broadway after 67 years

Oh listen sister, I love my mister man

And I can't tell you why

There is no reason why I should love that man

It mus' be somethin' that the angels have planned

Fish gotta swim, birds gotta fly

I gotta love one man 'til I die

Can't help lovin' that man of mine

Tell me he's lazy, oh, tell me he's slow

Tell me I'm crazy, maybe I know

Can't help lovin' that man of mine

When he goes away, that's a rainy day

But when he comes back that day is fine

The sun will shine!

He can come home as late as can be

Home without him ain't no home to me

Can't help lovin' that man of mine

I erm, I first heard that song, um, when Ava Gardner sang it in the movie

Because I had no idea that it came from a Broadway show

'Cause I went to the movies long before I ever went to the theater

Who knew from the theater

I'd go to the, um, the Loew's Kings in Flatbush every Saturday

To escape into a world of fantasy

And also because they had the greatest mellowrolls

A mellowroll was this little ice-cream log

A lot of you must know that, wrapped in paper that sat on a cone
