"I'm In the Market For You"
  By George Olsen (1930)   

I'll have to see my broker
Find out what he can do.
'Cause I'm in the market for you.

There won't be any joker,
With margin I'm all through.
'Cause I want you outright it's true.

You're going up, up ,up in my estimation.
I want a thousand shares of your caresses too.

We'll count the hugs and kisses,
When dividends are due,
      'Cause I'm in the market for you.      
  

"Blue Skies"

By Irving Berlin (1930)

I was blue, just as blue as I could be.
Every day was a cloudy day for me.
Then good luck came a-knocking at my door.
Skies were gray but they're not gray anymore.

Blue skies.
Smiling at me.
Nothing but blue skies.
Do I see.

Bluebirds.
Singing a song.
Nothing but bluebirds.
All day long.

Never saw the sun shining so bright.
Never saw things going so right.
Noticing the days hurrying by.
When you're in love, my how they fly.

Blue days.
All of them gone.
Nothing but blue skies.
From now on.

I should care if the wind blows east or west.
I should fret if the worst looks like the best.
I should mind if they say it can't be true.
I should smile, that's exactly what I do.
