"Mimi" (Maurice Chevalier, 1932)

From 1932's picture, "Love Me Tonight"--a lighthearted Rodgers & Hart collaboration.

MIMI

My left shoe's on my right foot,
My right shoe's on my left.
Oh! listen to me Mimi,
Of reason I'm bereft!
The buttons of my trousers
Are button'd to my vest;
Oh! listen to me Mimi,
Mere passion's in my breast!

Mimi, you funny little good for nothing Mimi,
Am I the guy?
Mimi, you sunny little honey of a Mimi,
I'm aiming high!
Mimi, you've got me sad and dreamy,
You could free me, if you'd see me.
Mimi, you know I'd like to have
A little son of a Mimi bye and bye!

The wonderful lyrics of Larry Hart and the jaunty Richard Rodgers melody combined with the Gallic charm of Maurice Chevalier make Mimi a joy!

[RReady555]

Theirs was perhaps the greatest collaboration ever--grand to see Maurice has so many YT fans, too! ;)

Superb sound quality. The original movie was fun!
