from Anna Christie:
" Gif me a visky, ginger ale on the side, and don' be stingy, baby."

Greta Garbo
Today’s stars all come from the same bottle,
These cupcakes will never last.
Though pleasant and droll --
I found my crescent roll
my present role model
In a film goddess of the past. . .

I want to be like Greta Garbo--
that would be so cool, so neat,
though all we have in common
are two pairs of giant feet.

I'd hop the next flight to Stockholm
If I had half the chance.
Maybe I'm not a raving beauty,
but I look okay in pants.

I'm going Scandinavian
gonna take that nordic ride.
Just gif me Vhiskey, Bay-bee,
with a little love,
a little love,
a little love on the side.

Oh, I'll be the mysterious figure
in kerchief and glasses dark
who fans'll spot but never say so
when I stroll through Central Park.

I really try to be like Garbo,
all stand-offish and aloof,
but instead of Swedish meatball,
I'm a red-blooded American goof.

Gonna affect a Swedish accent (yah)
With some husky smoke in my voice
'cause sometimes I vant to be alone
but most of the time
most of the time
most of the time I have no choice.

I'm going Scandinavian
gonna take that nordic ride.
Just giff me Vhiskey, Bay-bee,
with a little love,
a little love,
a little luff on the side.

Yah.
