Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I wanna have dinner with Gershwin
I wanna watch Rembrandt and sketch
I wanna talk theory with Curie
Impossible I guess
I wanna talk moods with Picasso
On a rendezvous
I wanna fly double with Earhart
I wanna get next to you
Next to you
[Verse 2]
So close, just as close as I can get
The rain of your worry can't effect
What I feel is what I feel
One touch of your greatness is what I need
My circle of fantasy would be complete
[Verse 3]
I wanna sing hymns with Mahalia
When the day is through
I wanna tell you about it
I wanna get next to you
Next to you
[Verse 4]
So close, just as close as I can get
The rain of your worry can't effect
What I feel is what I feel
One touch of your greatness is what I need
My circle of fantasy would be complete
[Verse 5]
So close, just as close as I can get
The rain of your worry can't effect
What I feel is what I feel
One touch of your greatness is what I need
My circle of fantasy would be complete
[Verse 6]
I wanna have dinner with Gershwin
I wanna watch Rembrandt sketch
Yeah
I wanna talk theory with Curie
I wanna get next to you
Next to you
Whoa, whoa-oh
[Verse 7]
Dinner with Gershwin
I wanna get next to you
Next to you
Dinner with Gershwin
And maybe lose my speech
Next to you, next to you
Still waiting for you baby
Next to you
Yeah, oh yeah
Give me, give me, oh give me, give me
Give it to me just one more time now
Dinner with Gershwin
Oh babe
Wanna get ya, wanna get, yeah, yeah, yeah
Dinner with Gershwin
