about

Written at the time of the revue, but not specifically for it. I guess it really only fits because it's strangely theatrical for a Harley song.

lyrics

I can write the first line at 2.45
And finish the song by five to…
I can write an opera in an hour and a half
But what do I do about you?

I can play the Minute Waltz
In 35 seconds flat
But I can’t seem to get you out of my head
So what do I do about that?

Sometimes I fly gliders or water-ski
Before making breakfast for two
From my own recipes
(of course you’ve read my books?)
But what do I do about you?

I can make cocktails like you’ve never seen
Ask anyone – I can do
Things with an olive you’d never believe
– But what do I do about you?
 
I can build a cocktail with a sting like an asp
Pernod, tequila and lime
Crushed ice and soda
– Now it’s almost done
Buddy where’s the grenadine?

I can build furniture, drive racing cars
I’ve painted a mural or two
But I can’t seem to get you
To remember my name
So what do I do about you?
What do I do about you?
