Quotes If April showersShould come your way,They bring the flowersThat bloom in May. Song: April Showers The moon belongs to everyone;The best things in life are free.The stars belong to everyone;They gleam there for you and me. Song: The Best Things in Life are Free If you knew Susie like I know Susie,Oh, oh, oh what a girl!There's none so classy as this fair lassie,Oh, oh, Holy Moses, what a chassis! Song: If You Knew Susie You're sent from heavenAnd I know your worth.You made a heaven for me here on the earth.When I'm old and grey, dear,Promise you won't stray, dear,For I love you so, Sonny Boy. Song: Sonny Boy (de Sylva wrote the words; Lew Brown and Ray Henderson wrote the music; Al Jolson insisted on being credited too) External links Category:Film producers from the United States Category:Songwriters from the United States Category:1895 births Category:1950 deaths Category:People from New York City Category:People from California
