keep away the cold

 

Broadway

On You Tube, type in

steam heat, the pajama game

and play.

I got (clang) (clang) s-s-s-steam heat,

I got (clang) (clang) s-s-s-steam heat,

I got (clang) (clang) s-s-s-steam heat,

But I need your love to keep away the cold

I got (clang) (clang) s-s-s-steam heat,

I got (clang) (clang) s-s-s-steam heat,

I got (clang) (clang) s-s-s-steam heat,

But I can't get warm - without your hand to hold

The radiator's hissin' - still I need your kissin'

To keep me from freezin' each night...

     

        All these old musicals -- I remember my mother taking me to see a college production of Guys and Dolls when I was junior-high age, in Ohio.  It was outdoors -- probably Kent State students putting it on, I can't remember--I don't remember the plot or the music, either, but the event stays in my mind and it's a pleasant recollection.  I had a feeling of, "This is it.  This is perfect, and where I want to be."
