This man could do anything!

Performing to a classic George and Ira Gershwin tune, “Nice Work If You Can Get It,” in the 1937 film, A Damsel in Distress, the great Fred Astaire demonstrates his versatility.

Someday he'll come along, the man I love And he'll be big and strong, the man I love And when he comes my way I'll do my best to make him stay I ll look at him and smile, He'll understand And in a little while he'll take my hand And though it seems absurd I know we both won't say a word Maybe I will meet him Sunday Maybe Monday, maybe not Still I'm sure to meet him one day Maybe Tuesday will be my good news day He 'll build a little home, just meant for two From which I'll never roam, who would, would you? And so all else above I am waiting for The man I love Maybe I will meet him Sunday Maybe Monday, maybe not Still I'm sure I'll meet him one day Maybe Tuesday will be my good news day He'll build a little home, just meant for two From which I'll never roam, who would, would you? And so all else above I am waiting for The man I love

This could be so cloying, and in a way it absolutely is, but also I find it so wonderfully joyous in spite of itself, I don't know. It's probably the version of I Got Rhythm I listen to the most.

Unfortunately I can't find a source for who of the team of like, 8 credited orchestrators was responsible for these, but I love the arrangement so much
