This is one of my favorite Cole Porter songs …
Love for Sale:
When the only sound on the empty street
is the heavy tread of the heavy feet
that belong to a lonesome cop
I open shop
The moon so long has been gazing down
on the wayward ways of this wayward town
that her smile becomes a smirk, I go to work
Love for sale
appetizing young love for sale
love that’s fresh and still unspoiled
love that’s only slightly soiled
love for sale
who will buy
who would like to sample my supply
who’s prepared to pay the price
for a trip to paradise
love for sale
let the poets pipe of love
in their childish ways
I know every type of love
better far than they
if you want the thrill of love
I have been through the mill of love
old love
new love
every love but true love
love for sale
appetizing young love for sale
if you want to buy my wares follow me and climb the stairs
love for sale …
and here is a video with Ella Fitzgerald:
