Nice Work If You Can Get It
Love's Triumph: Unveiling the Poetic Tapestry of Oscar Peterson's 'Nice Work If You Can Get It'
Lyrics
Holdin' hands at midnight
Experiencing intimacy by holding hands at midnight.
Beneath a starry sky
Under a beautiful, star-filled sky.
Nice work if you can get it
Expressing that having a particular opportunity or situation is desirable.
And you can get it if you try
Suggesting that the opportunity is attainable with effort.
Strollin' with the one girl
Taking a leisurely walk with a special romantic partner.
Sighin' sigh after sigh
Expressing contentment through audible sighs.
Nice work if you can get it
Reiterating the desirability of the mentioned opportunity.
And you can get it if you try
Emphasizing the attainability of the opportunity with determination.
Just imagine someone
Encouraging the listener to envision a romantic scenario.
Waiting at the cottage door
Depicting a scene of someone waiting at a cottage door.
Where two hearts become one
Highlighting the union of two hearts into one.
Who could ask for anything more?
Expressing contentment and satisfaction with the depicted scenario.
Loving one who loves you
Being in a reciprocal romantic relationship.
And then takin' that vow
Making a commitment through the act of taking vows.
Nice work if you can get it
Reiterating the desirability of the mentioned opportunity.
And if you get it, won't you tell me how?
Asking for guidance if one successfully attains the mentioned opportunity.
Holdin' hands at midnight
Repeating the image of holding hands at midnight.
Beneath a starry sky
Reaffirming the romantic setting beneath the starry sky.
And strollin' with the one girl
Continuing the theme of leisurely walks with a romantic partner.
Sighing sigh after sigh
Expressing contentment through audible sighs, maintaining the romantic atmosphere.
Just imagine someone
Encouraging the listener to imagine another romantic scenario.
Waiting at the cottage door
Depicting a scene of waiting at the cottage door, echoing earlier imagery.
Where two hearts become one
Reiterating the idea of two hearts becoming one, emphasizing the romantic ideal.
Who could ask for anything more?
Reaffirming contentment and satisfaction with the romantic scenario.
Loving one who loves you
Reiterating the theme of reciprocal romantic love.
And then takin' that vow
Emphasizing commitment through the act of taking vows, mirroring a previous line.
Nice work if you can get it
Reiterating the desirability of the mentioned opportunity.
And if you get it, won't you tell me how?
Asking for information or advice if one successfully attains the mentioned opportunity.
