The Song's Gotta Come From Etc - Frank Sinatra, Jimmy Durante

It’s art that made the mold

It’s the difference between the big and the small

It doesn’t have to be witty or smart

Just as long as it comes from the heart

It doesn’t have to be classic or rock

Just as long as it comes from the heart

Just put more heart into you voice

And you’ll become the people’s choice

Just make up your mind from the start

That the song’s gotta come from the heart

Just make up your mind from the start

That the song’s gotta come from the heart

Don’t be afraid you’ll make your grade

Why you can sing as good as Bing

That’s why I say when you start

That the song’s gotta come from the heart

It doesn’t have to be witty or smart

Long as it comes from the heart

It doesn’t have to be classic or rock

Long as it comes from the heart

I’ll give 'em that

I’ll give 'em this

I’ll strut away

Boy!

You can’t miss!

Just put a star on my chart

They won’t need this anymore!

Cause the song’s gonna come from the heart

Don’t work cheap!

On opening nights, your name in lights

Why we won’t stop, 'til you reach the top

We’ll order our meal a la carte

That’s expensive!

If the song comes from the heart

We’ll be tremendous!

If the song comes from the heart

Can’t call up Gable

If the song comes from the heart!
