You're The Cream In My Coffee    (1928)

You're the cream in my coffee
You're the salt in my stew
You will always be my necessity
I'd be lost without you

You're the starch in my collar
You're the lace in my shoe
You will always be my necessity
I'd be lost without you

Most men tell love tales
And each phrase dovetails
You've heard each known way
This way is my own way

You're the sail of my love boat
You're the captain and crew
You will always be my necessity
I'd be lost without you

You give life savor
Bring out its flavor
So this is clear, dear
You're my Worcestershire, dear

You're the sail of my love boat
You're the captain and crew
You will always be my necessity
I'd be lost without you

Lyrics by B.G. DeSylva, Lew Brown, and Ray Henderson.
Recorded by Ruth Etting; Ben Selvin & His Orchestra; others.
From the show "Hold Everything" (1929)
