Although instantly popular, “Body and Soul” was banned from radio for nearly a year (ca. 1930) because of its suggestive lyrics, which leave little doubt as to their sexual nature. In spite of, or possibly because of, its racy lyrics, an astounding number of renditions made the charts in the 1930s and 1940s.

LYRICS

My heart
Is sad and lonely
For you I sigh
For you dear only
Why haven't you
Seen it?
I'm all for you
Body and soul

I spend my days
In longing
And wondering why
It's me you're wronging
I tell you I mean it
I'm all for you
Body and soul

I can't believe it
It's hard to conceive it
That you'd
Turn away romance
Are you pretending?
Looks like the ending
Unless I could have
One more chance to prove
Dear

My life's a wreck
You're making
You know that I'm yours
For just the taking
I'd gladly surrender
Body and soul
(end)

Music Johnny Green; Lyrics - Heyman, Eaton, Sour
