Lyric for "'S Wonderful"
Ira Gershwin was a master of the clever lyric. Describing "'S Wonderful" he said, "The principal reason for writing this lyric was to feature the sibilant sound effect by deleting the "it" or "it's" and slurring the leftover "s" with the first syllable of the following word." He insisted that this title be spelled "'S Wonderful" (with the apostrophe before the "s"), and not the frequently misspelled "S'Wonderful." |
