what chance have i with love - irving berlin lyrics

[verse:]
love is beautiful, love is swell
love is as sweet as a nut
love is grander than tongue can tell
love is remarkable but

[1st refrain:]
look at what it did to romeo
it dealt poor romey an awful blow
if love could do that to romeo
what chance have i with love?

look at what it did to anthony
it made a “mark” out of anthony
if love could do that to anthony
what chance have i with love?

look at what it did to samson
’til he lost his hair he was brave
if a haircut could weaken samson
they could murder me with a shave

louie number fifteen, king of france
they say he suffered with each romance
if love kicked him in the royal pants
what chance have i
an ordinary guy
what chance have i with love?

[2nd refrain:]
look at what it did to adam
from that bite he could not escape
if an apple could finish adam
they could knock me off with a grape

miss lucrezia borgia, deep in sin
she poisoned her lovers when they dropped in
if they wound up with a mickey finn
what chance have i
an ordinary guy
what chance have i with love?

[3rd refrain:]
look what love did for reno
it put reno on the map
when a woman goes to reno
it’s because some man is a sap

tommy manville’s love is not returned
he sells asbestos and he has learned
that with asbestos he still gets burned
what chance have i
an ordinary guy
what chance have i with love?

[alternate strain:]
look at what it did to bonaparte
he lost his head when he lost his heart
if he kicked over the apple cart
what chance have i
an ordinary guy
what chance have i with love?
