Comment
We reviewed published scores of the musical comedy "Ask Dad" (finally named "Oh, my Dear!"), but we didn't find any lyric about "Love being like something". The following pieces were reviewed :
'Boat Song', 'You Never Know', 'I Wonder Whether', 'The Land Where Journeys End', 'I'd Ask No More', 'City of Dreams', 'Come Where Nature Call!', 'If They Ever Parted You From Me', 'It Sort Of Makes A Fellow Stop And Think', 'I Shall Be All Right Now', 'Childhood Days'.
'Now and then but not all the time', 'Sas'parilla, women and song', 'I love a musical comedy show' - These three being by Alfred Bryan and Jean Schwartz (instead of P.G. Wodehouse and Louis A. Hirsch).
I can't quite recall what the plot of "Ask Dad" was about [...]. [...] I sat there for nearly half an hour, waiting for him to make his entrance, until I suddenly discovered he had been on from the start. He was, in fact, the rummy-looking plug-ugly who was now leaning against a potted palm a couple of feet from the O.P. side, trying to appear intelligent while the heroine sang a song about Love being like something which for the moment has slipped my memory.
