Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
In the street called “Tinpan Alley”
I have suffered endless wrongs
For I’m the dog who writes incog
All of Cole Porter’s Broadway songs
Here’s a new one to Bianca
Bless her heart and bless her soul
I’ll sing it through for all of you
Then take it away, Cole!
Are you listening?
Refrain:
Bianca, Bianca
Oh, baby, will you be mine?
Bianca, Bianca
You’d better answer yes
Or Poppa spanka
To win you, Bianca
There’s nothing I would not do
I would gladly give up coffee for Sanka
Even Sanka, Bianca, for you
