Nobody But You.

(Air: "Nobody But You" .................................... "Hollywood Revue.")

Who can steer the sinking ship?
Who won't let the money rip?
Nobody . . . Nobody but you-hoo.
Who will make my dreams come true?
Who will win my Waterloo?
Nobody . . . Nobody but you-hoo.
Who shuns temptations of inflation
When revenue declines?
Who thinks of saving the nation
By well-intentioned crimes?
Who would kill the golden geese
To bolster up a flimsy fleece?
Nobody . . . Nobody but you-hoo.

Who would like us to believe
He's too good-natured to deceive?
Nobody . . . Nobody but you-hoo.
Who would like to make us dance
To a dirge intoned by High Finance?
Nobody . . . Nobody but you-hoo.
Who'd like to win our affection
In the role of "Honest George"?
And with a cheerful inflexion,
Request us to disgorge?
Who would try to plant a hedge
In flower-pots on a window-ledge?
Nobody . . . Nobody but you-hoo.

Who is great and grand and good?
Who treats farmers as he should?
Nobody . . . Nobody but you-hoo.
Who's frightened by the London Banks?
Who dreads the pranks of Labour ranks?
Nobody . . . Nobody but you-hoo.
Who should be feeding his poultry,
And poddying his lambs,
Instead of milking the public
And shearing all the prams?
Who ought to burn the blarsted bales,
And take the lead from New South Wales?
Nobody . . . Nobody but you-hoo.
