You Was
Composer(s): Sunny Burke; Paul Francis Webster
Performer(s): Dean Martin (with Peggy Lee);
Buddy Clarke; Bing Crosby; Doris Day; Martha Tilton



Peggy: If you were to ask me
who the sweetest one I knew was
I'd say: "you was"
Dean: If you were to ask me who my fav'rite point of view was
I'd say: "you was"
Peggy: When you're not near, my heart is inclined to waste away
Dean: But when you're here, the funny part is
My heart is a spherical lyrical miracle all the day
Peggy: If you were to ask me who the apple of your eye was
I'd say: "I was"
Dean: If you were to ask me who your sweet potato pie was
I'd say: "I was"
Peggy: Supposin' you paid a visit to a certain preacher
Dean: Supposin' you overheard me practicing "I do"
And you were to ask me who the bride and groom to be was
Peggy: I'd say: "we was"
Dean: "Me and you"

(Orchestral Break)

Peggy: I've got a heart that hollers when you're not close to me
Dean: But when you're near it sorta follers
Both: There isn't a lovelier heaven abovelier place to be
Dean: If I were to ask you who the girl I'd glorify was
Peggy: I'd say: "I was"
Peggy: If I were to ask you who the boy I'd like to tie was
Dean: I'd say: "I was"
Peggy: Supposin' you heard that I was shopping for a trousseau
Dean: Supposin' I brought you something old and something new
And you were to ask us who the bride and groom to be was
Peggy: I'd say
Both: "we was, me and you"
Peggy: You was
Dean: You was
Peggy: You was
Dean: I was
Both: We was, me and you
