Irving Berlin

In Florida Among The Palms
[1st verse:] Everybody sings of the sunny South That's the song that clings to the singer's mouth They ragtime it and boost the climate Way up to the sky I Never cared a lot for the Swanee shore There's another spot that I'm rooting for I've been there and I must declare It can't be praised too high [Refrain:] If I had my way, I'd always stay In Florida among the palms With its peaceful air of "I don't care" And lazy atmosphere that calms My one favorite haunt Is a palm tree, and all I want Is someone just to rest in my arms I'd love to live among the bamboo huts, the cocoanuts There's something in the climate that charms Heaven's corridor is sunny Florida Home of the shelt'ring palms [2nd verse:] Florida was named very prettily Letras de cancionesBy the man who claimed its discovery He spent hours among the flowers And called it "God's Land" And Nature seems to sigh "it's my favorite" That's the reason why Heaven gave her it It was born from a diamond worn Upon an Angel's hand From Letras Mania
