How About You
The Rat Pack Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I like a Gershwin tune, how about you
I love a fireside when a storm is due
I like potato chips, moonlight
Motor trips, how about you
I'm mad about good books, can't get my fill
And James Durantes looks give me a thrill
When all the lights are low may not be new
But I like it, how about you
I like New York in June, how about you
I like a Gershwin tune, how about you
I love a fireside when a storm is due, how about you
I'm mad about good books, can't get my fill
And James Durantes looks they give me a thrill
Holding hands in the movie show
When all the lights are low may not be new
But I like it, and I like it, I like it, how about you
The Rat Pack's song How About You is a cheerful and lively ode to the things that make life enjoyable. It starts with the singer expressing their fondness for New York City in the month of June, and the upbeat tunes of George and Ira Gershwin.

The singer also mentions their love for reading good books and James Durante's handsome looks. Finally, the song ends with the singer waxing poetic about the time-honored tradition of holding hands with a loved one during a movie, even if it's not a new idea.
Overall, the song celebrates the joy of finding happiness in life's small pleasures, and encourages listeners to do the same. It's a song about contentment and satisfaction with one's lot in life, rather than striving for something more.
