Words and music by Cole Porter
The sheet music:
Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
It’s not that you’re fairer
Than a lot of girls just as pleasin’
That I doff my hat
As a worshipper at your shrine
It’s not that you’re rarer
Than asparagus out of season
No, my darling, this is the reason
Why you’ve got to be mine
Refrain
You’d be so nice to come home to
You’d be so nice by the fire
While the breeze, on high, sang a lullaby
You’d be all that I could desire
Under stars, chilled by the winter
Under an August moon, burning above
You’d be so nice, you’d be paradise
To come home to and love
