Lyrics
  • In New York or in the wilds, Mister Ritz or Mister Childs, To be together is the thing. (Myum, myum, myum, myum) To be together is the thing. Refrain: To be together is the main thing, The only sensible and sane thing. No matter where or how, To be the same as now, Like little birdies on the wing.

  • Lounging in a limousine or flirting in a fliver
  • To be Together is the Thing (from the musical play “Buddies”) Verse: When a man feels that he’s head over heels in lover with a girl, It’s a terrible state of affairs! He doesn’t care a darn if he lives in a barn, So long as the girl of his choice his happiness shares. Time and place mean nothing to you and me. Refrain: To be together is the main thing, The only sensible and sane thing. No matter where or how, To be the same as now, Like little birdies on the wing. So in the summer or winter, And in the fall and in the spring, We may be basking in bungalow beside a baby river
