What I Like

Tina has secretly had her eye on Jake for quite some time. Jake, who has just noticed her for the first time, introduces himself and they strike up a conversation about cars. It's apparent that he's met his match.  In fact, he thinks he's fallen in love with her already! Tina wants to know what Jake likes and he responds with his 50's song WHAT I LIKE.

(Partial lyrics)

JAKETTES
WHAT DOES HE LIKE?

WHAT DOES HE LIKE?

TELL ME - WHAT DOES HE LIKE?

What I like is beautiful music,

HERE IT IS SO DEEP in my soul.

Nothing else can bring me the magic,

Like the BLUES oR  ro-ock and roll.

And I like the so-ound of song birds,

And SWEET Words LIKE "re-en de vous",

But these things - I know I don't love them,

Cause I love o-on-ly you!

 

JAKETTES
HE LOVES - O-ONLY YOU!

 

jake
WHAT I LIKE IS SEEING THE SUNSET

AND THE MOON WAY UP IN THE SKY,

OR THE CO-LORS O-OF THE RAINBOW

OR THE TWIN-KLE I-IN YOUR EYE.

AND I LIKE THE LOOKS OF A FLOWER

IN THE MORNING'S GE-EN-TLE DEW,

BUT THESE THINGS - I KNOW I DON'T LOVE THEM,

CAUSE I LOVE O-ON-LY YOU.

 

JAKETTES
HE LOVES ON-LY YOU.

THESE THINGS THAT I LIKE,

ARE JUST CANDLES AT NIGHT

THEY CAN HELP KEEP THE DARKNESS AWAY.

BUT THEY'RE NOT ANY-THING LIKE THE GLOW THAT YOU BRING

TWEN- TY FOUR HOU-URS A DA-AY.

 

JAKETTES
TWEN- TY FOUR HOU-URS A DA-AY.
