Three Times a Day by George Gershwin Lyrics

(Verse 1)
[KENNETH]
If I had my way
I'd trail you night and day
For I so crave your company
I'd be in it
Every minute
But, upon my soul
I'll exercise control
In case it be that you should see
More than just enough of me

(Chorus)
I'll call round about
Three times a day
Maybe I could make it four
You may throw me out
Three times a day
But I'll come right back for more
When the sky
Falls into the ocean blue
That's when I
Will stop proposing to you
For I long to see
Your smiling face across the table, dear
Three times a day
(Verse 2)
[PEGGY]
Yes, I realize
That you are very wise
In limiting our rendezvous
Such a stand'll
Cause no scandal
Just three times a day
Is quite enough, I'd say
But if your calls are more than three
Folks might think you fond of me

(Chorus)
I'll call round about
Three times a day
Maybe I could make it four
You may throw me out
Three times a day
But I'll come right back for more
When the sky
Falls into the ocean blue
That's when I
Will stop proposing to you
For I long to see
Your smiling face across the table, dear
Three times a day
