Rudy Vallee | You Oughta Be In Pictures (1934)

As I look at you
A thought goes through my mind
What a marvellous time
You'd make upon the screen
I'm proud that I have you
Right by my side
But I'd be satisfied to lend you
To the public to be seen

You oughta be in pictures
You're wonderful to see
You oughta be in pictures
Oh, what a hit you would be
Your voice would thrill a nation
Your face would be adored
You'd make a great sensation
With wealth and fame your reward
And if you should kiss the way you kiss
When we are all alone
You'd make every girl and man
A fan worshiping at your throne
You oughta shine as brightly
As Jupiter and Mars
You oughta be in pictures
My star of stars

You oughta be in pictures
You're wonderful to see
You oughta be in pictures
Oh, what a hit you would be
You're lovely as a Crawford
Like Davis you are gay
You surely should be offered
A starring part - right away
You're sweet as a Gaynor
And you're hot as a gal named West
You'd even make Garbo jealous
If you took a movie test
You oughta dress like fashion
And ride in motor cars
You oughta be in pictures
My star of stars!
