At the Music Hall: Every Little Movement, 1910

Every little movement
Has a meaning all its own.
Every thought and feeling,
By some posture, can be shown.
And, every love thought
That comes a-stealing
All your being must be revealing
All its sweetness
In some appealing little gesture
All of its own.


With lyrics by Otto Harbach and music by Karl Hoschna, Every Little Movement (Has a Meaning All Its Own) was first published in 1910 and quickly became a very popular song. Harbach and Hoschna used the tune in the musical, “Madame Sherry,” and since then, the song has been a popular favorite which has been recorded numerous times by such legendary performers as Doris Day, Judy Garland and The Platters.


I found this clip of Doris Day’s version of Every Little Movement. This was a big hit for her. Enjoy!
