Lena Horne sings that "It's Fun to be fooled" with love. Composed by Harold Arlen with two of his favorite lyricists Ira Gershwin and E.Y Harburg, the song was for a 1934show called Life Begins at 8:40. The lyrics celebrate the ecstasy of initial love while prudently recognizing that such moments might always last
The moral: Grab what you can from love since it's such fun to be fooled , at least for a while. Sung by Lena Horne, it's just one of a number of Arlen songs she has performed ever since they met when she was a 16 year old girl at the legendary Cotton Club. She also starred in the Arlen / Harburg musical " JAMAICA ."
