Rispettare (to respect)

I borrowed from the library the film "Funny Face"

starring Audrey Hepburn and Fred Astaire and loved

the song , sung by Audrey and Kay Thompson..

"On how to be lovely,

you gotta be happy

when you can be light and gay

then you'll be lovely as a holiday.

On how to be charming

you gotta be merry...

if only to weave a spell

and you'll be as lovely as a carousel too.

I know you can show how

it's all in the know how

and once you know oh how

the world looks good to you...

as it should to you.

Oh how to be lovely

you got to be jolly

when you can be fancy free

and flash a smile

that folks come flocking to see..

you'll be as lovely as can be.

Can't do it with makeup

you've just got to wake up

and starting to take up

life delirious

nothing serious.

Oh how to be lovely

you've got to be cheery

then you are guaranteed

you don't need doe

or a college degree...

Make sorrow incidental

let joy be monumental

and you'll be lovely..

you'll be as lovely as can be."

"And also, that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labor, it is the gift of God."

Ecclesiastes 3:13
