Fred Astaire once claimed that Ginger Rogers was twice the dancer he was.

"She does everything I do - but backwards and in high heels."

I love these vintage lyrics.....from 1939 of course...

Sir?

Oh how I love you honey hush
Your lovely cheeks make roses blush
Your lips are divine
They taste just like wine
They seem to whisper of love.

Fats Waller - Pent Up In A Penthouse










The table is ready for two,
Our date was for seven,
It's now past eleven,
Oh, baby, what's happened to you?

All pent up in a penthouse,
Cocktails all ready to shake,
The dinner's untasted,
The evening's been wasted,
Is this your idea of a break, huh?
