You’re an Education (1938)
(w) Al Dubin (m) Harry Warren (I) Film: Gold Diggers in Paris.
Must I memorize a book to be considered wise
When I can look into your eyes?
Literature is such a bore and mathematics too
I’d much prefer to learn about you....

You’re the only kind of knowledge
They don’t teach at any college, you’re an education in yourself
There are poems and romances in the glamour of your glances
You’re an education in yourself

Of all the famous dates in hist’ry, I recall but a few:
The Fourth of July and my dates with you
You’ve a kiss that’s scientific tho’ it’s tender, it’s terrific
You’re an education in yourself

You’re the kind of mental training
I could take without complaining,
You’re an education in yourself
Intricate as economics, simple as the Sunday comics
You’re an education in yourself

And there are geometric figures in your beautiful curves
They’re good on the eyes, but bad on the nerves
You are my encyclopedia, let me take you home and read yuh
You’re an education in yourself
