Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's a very ancient saying
But a true and honest thought
That if you become a teacher
By your pupils, you'll be taught
As a teacher, I've been learning
You'll forgive me if I boast
And I've now become an expert
On the subject I like most
[Verse 2]
Getting to know you
[Verse 3]
Getting to know you
Getting to know all about you
Getting to like you
Getting to hope you like me
Getting to know you
Putting it my way, but nicely
You are precisely my cup of tea
[Verse 4]
Getting to know you
Getting to feel free and easy
When I am with you
Getting to know what to say
Haven't you noticed?
Suddenly, I'm bright and breezy
Because of all the beautiful and new
Things I'm learning about you
Day by day
[Verse 5]
Getting to know you
Getting to know all about you
Getting to like you
Getting to hope you like me
Getting to know you
Putting it my way, but nicely
You are precisely (My cup of tea)
[Verse 6]
Getting to know you
Getting to feel free and easy
When I am with you
Getting to know what to say
Haven't you noticed?
Suddenly, I'm bright and breezy
Because of all the beautiful and new
Things I'm learning about you
Day by day
[Verse 7]
Haven't you noticed?
Suddenly, I'm bright and breezy
Because of all the beautiful and new
Things I'm learning about you
Day by day
Written by: Oscar Hammerstein II, Richard Rodgers
