1. _ No Wonder (reprise)
She's mother, she's sister,
She's lover.
She's the wonder of wonders
No man can deny.
So why would he change her?
She's loving- she's tender-
She's woman-
So am i.

2. _ Home From "the Wiz"
When i think of home, i think of a place
Where there's love overflowing
I wish i were home, i wish i was back there
With the things i've been knowin'
Wind that makes the tall trees bend into leaning
Suddenly the snowflakes that fall have a meaning
Sprinkling the sea
Makes it all clean
Maybe there's a way for me to go back
Now that i have some direction
It would sure be nice to back home
Where there's love and affection
And just maybe i can convince time to slow up
Giving me enough time in my life to grow up
Time be my friend
Let me start again
Suddenly my world's gone and changed its face
But i still know where i'm goin'
I have had my mind spun around in space
And yet i've watched it growin'
If you're listening god, please don't make it hard to go
If we should believe the things that we see
Tell us should we run away, should we try and stay?
Or is better just to let things be?
Living here in this brand new world might be a fantasy
But it's taught me to love so it's real to me
And i've learned that we must look inside our hearts to find
A world full of love like yours and mine
Like home

3. _ Sing
Sing, sing a song
Sing out loud
Sing out strong
Sing of good things not bad
Sing of happy not sad.
Sing, sing a song
Make it simple to last
Your whole life long
Don't worry that it's not
Good enough for anyone
Else to hear
Just sing, sing a song.
Sing, sing a song
Let the world sing along
Sing of love there could be
Sing for you and for me.
Sing, sing a song
Make it simple to last
Your whole life long
Don't worry that it's not
Good enough for anyone
Else to hear
Just sing, sing a song.

When you're down and out
Lift up your head and shout

5. _ Before The Parade Passes By
before the parade passes by
Dolly
Before the parade passes by
Before it goes on, and only i'm left
Before the parade passes by
I've gotta get in step while there's still time left
I'm ready to move out in front
Life without life has no reason or rhyme left
With the rest of them
With the best of them
I wanna hold my head up high
I need a goal again
I need a drive again
I wanna feel my heart coming alive again
Before the parade passes by...
Before the parade passes by
I've gotta go and taste saturday's high life
Before the parade passes by
I've gotta get some life back into my life
I'm ready to move out in front
I've had enough of just passing by life
With the rest of them
With the best of them
I can hold my head up high
For i've got a goal again
I've got a drive again
I wanna feel my heart coming alive again
Before the parade passes by
[interlude]
All:
When the parade passes by
Listen and hear that brass harmony growing
When the parade passes by
Pardon me if my old spirit is showing
All of those lights over there
Seem to be telling me where i'm going
Dolly:
When the whistles blow
And the cymbals crash
And the sparklers light the sky
I'm gonna raise the roof
I'm gonna carry on
Give me an old trombone
Give me an old baton
Before the parade passes by!

6. _ Make Our Garden Grow
You've been a fool and so have i
But come i'll be your wife
And let us try before we die
To make some sense of life
We're neither pure nor wise nor good
We'll do the best we know
We'll build our house and chop our wood
And make our garden grow
And make our garden grow
I thought the world was sugar cake
For so our master said
But now i'll teach my hands to bake
Our loaf of daily bread
We're neither pure nor wise nor good
We'll do the best we know
We'll build house and chop our wood
And make our garden grow
And make our garden grow
Let dreamers dream what worlds they please
Those edens can't be found
The sweetest flowers
The fairest trees
Are grown in solid ground
We're neither pure nor wise nor good
We'll do the best we know
We'll build our house and chop our wood
And make our garden grow
And make our garden grow

I gotta thank my luck stars above
Hurry, hurry don't be late

Honey, you're the one...
You're my everything
And it's my conclusion
There is no sweeter scent
When you have found the right solution

And there is nobody quite like you
You're my number one

It's a fact
We got a first rate act
It's evident when we make love
The main event

9. _ One Day
One day
The fields will be green
And one day
The skies will be blue
And one day
The rivers will be bright silver ribbons
Running round the hills
Quiet hills
You'll see
One day
The rains will be soft
And one day
The winds will be sweet
Oh sweeter than springtime
And the whisper of lilac, apple, pine and pear
Will fill the air
And one day
A child full of wonder
Won't fear the dark sound of thunder
No dreams of danger
When a soldier is a stranger
>from a distant time
Distant world
On that morning
You stand
With tomorrow
Safe in your hand
That will be the day

10. _ Funny Thing Happened On My Way To Love
You don't have to shout
>from now on i'm out of the kitchen
What's more i can't stand your cigarette brand
And i switchin'
I'm unhappy with things the way they've occurred
It is time to face facts and not mince a word
Certain parties with bird brains are getting the bird!
Au revoir, fare thee well, and good-bye
And i'll tell you why
A funny thing happened on my way to love
I lost the young fellow i've been dreaming of
He changed while i waited and hoped for his call
Into someone who's no fun at all
So i'll start forgetting
What else can i do?
And much thanks for letting me practice on you
It's farewell my lovely
Excuse please my dust
Unravel and travel and lust
No tears
No hurt surprise
It's with a pleasant glow i realize
If i have that much love so deep true and strong
All ready to hand my dear mister wrong
To stew both the treasures, the joy and delight
I'll give to my own mister right.
So hasta lavista, factah, toodle-ooh
The world will keep turning but nut around you
There's someone else waiting who's more than a friend
Best wishes and dishes i'll send
So
So long, i'm on my way
And may i say
If i had this much love so deep true and strong
All ready to hand you my dear mister wrong
Just think of the treasures the joy and delight
I'll give
As long as i live
Day and night
To my own mister right!

11. _ Isn't This Better
Fanny
I loved the man
Truly i did
When he would touch me i act like a love-hungry kid
Isn't this better
Somebody nice somebody new
Someone who lets me react as i normally do
Isn't this better
Better
Passion is fine but passion burns fast
Passions design seems never to last
Better a match better a blend
Who needs a lover i need a friend
Now i am calm save and serene
Heartache and hurt are no longer a part of the scene
Isn't this better
The way it should be
Better for him
And also much better for me
Isn't this better
Better
Passion is fine but passion burns fast
Passions design seems never to last
Better a match better a blend
Who needs a lover i need a friend
Now i am clam save and serene
Heartache and hurt are no longer a part of the scene
Isn't this better
The way it should be
Better for him
Much better for him

Irene molly:
I'll be wearing ribbons down my back this summer
Blue & green and streaming in the yellow sky
So if someone special comes my way this summer
He might notice me passing by
And so i'll try to make it easier to find me
In the silliness of july
Because a breeze might stir a rainbow up behind me
That might happen to catch the gentleman's eye
And he might smile and take me by the hand
This summer
Making me recall how lovely love can be
And so i will proudly wear
Ribbons down my back
Shining in my hair
That he might notice me!

13. _ Sadie, Sadie
Act ii opens with the newly wed fanny and nick arriving at their home in long island.
Fanny's friends have prepared a surprise party for them. ziegfeld is there, hoping
Fanny will be in his new show; he's even hired her friend eddie as dance director.
Fanny's ziegfeld friends ask her what it's like be married and she replies:
Fanny:
I'm sadie, sadie, married lady,
Bow when i go by.
I'm a corporation now,
Not me, myself and i.
Oh how that marriage license works
On chambermaids and hotel clerks.
The honeymoon was such delight
That we got married that same night.
I'm sadie, sadie, married lady,
Still in bed at noon,
Racking my brain deciding
Between orange juice and prune.
Nick says nothing is too good for me,
And who am i not to agree?
I'm sadie, sadie, married lady, that's me!
All:
She's sadie, sadie, married lady,
Fanny:
Meet a mortgagee,
All:
The owner of an icebox
Fanny:
With a ten-year guarantee.
Oh, sit me in the softest seat,
Quick, a cushion for my feet.
Do for me, buy for me, lift me, carry me,
Finally got a guy to marry me!
I do my nails,
Read up on sales,
All day the records play.
Then he comes home, i tell him
Oy--what a day i had today!
I swear i'll do my wifely job,
Just sit at home--become a slob!
I'm sadie, sadie, married lady, that's me!
All:
She's sadie, sadie, married lady,
Boys:
Sadie, you did the trick.
Fanny:
It's nothing!
Girls:
Not ev'ry girl can get herself
A guy who looks like nick.
Fanny:
Wait, to tell the truth, it hurt my pride--
The groom was prettier than the bride.
All:
Sadie, sadie, married lady,
Fanny:
Husband, house, a mortgage, a baby,
All:
Sadie, sadie, married lady,
Fanny:
That's who?
All:
That's you.
Fanny:
That's me--married lady.
All:
Say hello to ziegfeld's married lady--sadie!

But it wouldn't be make belief if you belief in me

But when they packages it nice and market it right
I buy beloney
Yes i like him though i can see that he's the type
I'd better get busy and do unto to first
Before i find he's done unto me
He's mostly made of chutzpah
A fake a con a lie

15. _ It Takes A Woman
Vandergelder:
It takes a woman all powdered and pink
To joyously clean out the drain in the sink
And it takes an angel with long golden lashes
And soft dresden fingers
For dumping the ashes
Yes it takes a woman
A dainty woman
A sweetheart, a mistress, a wife
Cornelius, barnaby, & 2 customers:
O yes it takes a woman
A fragile woman
To bring you the sweet things in life
Vandergelder:
The frail young maiden who's constantly there
For washing and blueing and shoeing the mare
And it takes a female for setting the table
And weaving the guernsey
And cleaning the stable
All:
O yes it takes a woman
A dainty woman
A sweetheart, a mistress, a wife
O yes it takes a woman
A fragile woman
To bring you the sweet things in life
And so she'll work until infinity
Three cheers for femininity
God bless femininity
Vandergelder:
And in the winter she'll shovel the ice
And lovingly set out the traps for the mice
She's a joy and treasure for practically speaking
To whom can you turn when the plumbing is leaking?
Vandergelder, cornelius, & barnaby:
To that dainty woman
That fragile woman
That sweetheart, that mistress, that wife
That womanly wife
O yes it takes a woman
Vandergelder:
A husky woman
Vandergelder, cornelius, & barnaby:
To bring you the sweet things in life!
All:
O yes it takes a woman
A dainty woman
A sweetheart, a mistress, a wife
O yes it takes a woman, a fragile woman
To bring you the sweet things in life.

16. _ Ballad Of The Garment Trade
If you don't want to get nervous
Do yourself a great big service
Stay away please far from seventh avenue
You can lose your sense and reason
Guessing what style for next season
Yes, the dress business will make a wreck of you
It's a battle of fierce and grim
That depends on the ladies' whim
What'll miss and misses america's answer be
Will she say with a tossing head
And that rare guy wouldn't drop dead
Or she'll say : yes, this dress is really me
On guessing what, a day will say
A sheer impossibility
This poor kid's brave, he worked away
And try to build that industry
How crazy, bold and reckless
Can human beings be...
Hip, hip, hooray! for the garment trade
Hear the cheer to push the music hits us everyone
Day after day...they go on this way
To the cockeyed way the job that must be done
Off to the fray on the brave crusade
Gallant ladies' garment trade
Though in health got speed
In a gesture breed, made all answers on parade
What a business what a sack game
Yet it's about as much your business is a crap game
Snapper, zipper, bowler, button
All we know is what the experts know from nothin'
So the last line you got pie with
Coming right up is another you could die with
If you're right the dough could flow in
If you're not you haven't got a pot to sew with
Off to the fray on the brave crusade
Gallant ladies' garment trade
Though in health got speed
In a gesture breed, made all answers on parade
Off to the fray on the brave crusade
Gallant ladies' garment trade
Though in health got speed
In a gesture breed, made all answers on parade...

17. _ No Matter What Happens
Verse:
Look at how she look at me.
I can never look at her that way.
Full of all the feelings and the soft
Unspoken words that lovers say.
In all the words and all the books
I wish there were a way to say that
What she's taught me
Isn't written anywhere
And i'm supposed to be the one
Who's wise.
One thing is certain,
I can never be what she
Expects of me.
I've wanted the shadows,
I don't anymore.
No matter what happens,
I won't anymore.
I've run from the sunlight-
Afraid it saw too much.
The moon had the one light
I bathed in-
I walked in.
I held in my feelings
And close ev'ry door.
No matter what happens,
I can't anymore.
There's someone who must hear
The words i've never spoken.
Tonight if he were here
My silence would be broken.
I need him to touch me-
To know the love that's in my heart-
The same heart that tells me
To see myself-
To free myself-
To be myself at last!
For too many mornings
The curtains were drawn.
It's time they were opened
To welcome the dawn.
A voice deep inside
Is getting stronger.
I can't keep it quiet any longer.
No matter what happens,
It can't be the same anymore.
I promise it won't be the same
Anymore!

Nick is not in the audience for fanny's opening night, and she's worried,
But when he makes a late appearance at the party, she's angry at him until
He tells her that a hurricane has destroyed their casino and he's lost all
Her money. fanny doesn't think it's that big a deal, and this makes nick
Angry. fanny doesn't understand why:
Who are you now,
Now that you're mine?
Are you something more
Than you were before?
Are you warmer in the rain,
Are you stronger for my touch,
Am i giving too little
By my lovin' you too much?
How is the view,
Sunny and green?
How do you compare it to
The views you've seen?
I know i am better, braver and surer too,
But you--are you now--
Who are you now?
Are you someone better for my love?

We've just been introduced
I do not know you well
But when the music started
Something drew me to your side
So many men and girls
Are in each other's arms
It made me think

Shall we dance?

On a bright cloud of music
Shall we fly?
Shall we dance?
(shall we dance?)
Shall we then say good night and mean goodbye? (goodbye)
Or per chance, (per chance)
When the last little star has left the sky (sky---)
Shall we then be together
With our arms around each other?
And shall you be my new romance? (new romance)
Oh, on the clear understanding
That this kind of thing can happen
Shall we dance? (shall we dance?)
(shall we? shall we? shall we?)
Shall we dance?
Hello young lovers whoever you are
(shall we dance?)
Be brave young lovers and follow your star
(shall we dance?)
Shall we dance?

(come on come on come on come on come on come on come on come on)
Shall we dance? (shall we dance?)
On a bright cloud of music
Shall we fly?
Shall we still be together
With our arms around each other
And shall you be my new romance? (new romance)
Oh, on the clear understanding
That this kind of thing can happen

21. _ How Are Things In Glocca Morra?* / The Heather On The Hill**
I hear a bird
Londonderry bird
It, well, maybe he's bringing me a cheering word
I hear a breeze
A river shannon breeze
It, well, maybe its followed me across the sea
Then tell me please
How are things in glocca morra?
Is that little brook still leaping there?
Does it still run down to donny cove
Through kenny banks, kilcarrey and kildare?
How are things in glocca morra?
Is that willow tree still weeping there?
Does that laddy with the twinklin' eye
Come whistling by?
And does he walk away
Sad and dreamy there
Not to see me there?
So i ask each weeping willow
And each brook along the way
And each lad that comes a whistling
To relay
How are things in glocca morra
This fine day?
**the mist of may is in the gloamin'
And all the clouds are holdin' still
So take my hand and let's go roamin'
Through the heather on the hill
The mornin' dew is blinking yonder
There's lazy music in the air
And all i want to do is wander
Through the heather on the hill
There may be other days as rich and rare
There may be other springs as full and fare
But they won't be the same
They'll come and go
But this i must know
*how are things in glocca morra?
Is that laddy calling to relay?
Can we meet in glocca morra
Some fine day?
Some fine day

Fanny
It was a lucky april shower
It was a most convenient dorm
I found a million dollar baby in a five and ten cent store
The rain continued for an hour
I hang around for three our four
Around a million dollar baby in a five an ten cent store
She was selling china
And when she made those eyes
I kept buying china until the crop got wise
Incidentally
If you should run into a shower
Just step inside my cottage door
And meet the million dollar baby from the five and ten cent store

If you should run into a shower
Just step inside my cottage door
And meet the million dollar baby from the five and ten

23. _ With One More Look At You / Watch Closely Now
With one more look at you
I could learn to tame the clouds
And let the sun shine through
Leave a troubled past and i might start anew
I'll solve the mysteries if you're the prize
Refresh these tired eyes
With one more look at you
I might overcome the anger
That i learned to know
Find a piece of mind i lost so long ago
Your gentle touch has made me strong again
And i belong again
For when you look at me
I'm everything and more that i had dreamed i'd be
My spirit feels a promise
I won't be alone
We'll love and live more
Love and live forever
With one more look at you
I'd learn to change the stars
And change our fortunes too
I'd have the constellations paint your portrait too
So all the world might share this wonderful sight
The world could end each night
With one more look at you
With one more look at you
I want one more look at you
Are you watching me now?
Watch closely now
Your eyes are like fingers
Touching my body
Arousing me so
I'm riding the passion arising inside me
How high can i go?
You're coming with me: i'm gonna show you how
And when it's scary, i won't look down
Are you watching me now?
Watch closely now
I see the hunger arise in your eyes
And it's urging me on
Higher and harder and it's faster and farther
Than i've ever gone
Your pleasure is part of the secret
Of flight that i found
When i feel like an eagle
My soul has no place on the ground
Born out of madness
I'll double the danger with no net at all,
If you don't look away i'm secure
In the fact that you won't let me fall
Watch closely now
Are you watching me now?
I'm the master magician
Who'll help you escape
From the lies you've been told
When they're breaking your back
Bring the last straw to me
I turn straw into glod
I break chains made of boredom that others have lived with for years
I leave good news on doorsteps
And laughs where there used to be tears
I'm gonna need you later
When you're not around
But i can take it
I won't look down
Watch closely now
Are you watching me now?
Watch me now
Are you watching me now?
Are you watching me now?

25. _ Will Someone Ever Look At Me That Way?
Look at how he looks at her
Will someone ever look at me that way-
Full of all the feelings and the soft unspoken words
That lovers say?
I thought that i knew ev'ry single look
And sweet expression on his face,
Yet this is one that i don't recognize.
Althought i've set and studied him for hours.
But now i see how love completely occupies
A pair of eyes.
See the way they gaze at her,
Like slaves they follow ev'ry where she goes.
Do my eyes forget themselves
And do i ever look at him
And smile in such a way
That what i'm feeling shows?
Sometimes i have the feeling
Ev'rybody knows.
And even though it's crazy,
Still i can't help wond'ring if i'll ever
Live to see the day
When by some miracle of miracles,
He'll turn around
And look at me that way!

Have you noticed when i hold my cup
The saucer never moves
Cornelius:
And the way i keep my pinky up
Indubitably proves that
All:
We got elegance
We got built in elegance
And with elegance...elegance...
Elegance...elegance...elegance
We'll carry it off!
All:
We got elegance
If you ain't got elegance
You can never ever carry it off
We got elegance...

29. _ Funny Girl Medley I Am Woman
I am woman, you are man
I am smaller, so you can be taller than
I am softer to the touch
It's a feeling you like feeling very much
You are someone whom i've admired
Still our friendship leaves something to be desired
Does it take more explanation than this?
I am woman, you are man
I am woman
You are man
Let's kiss

30. _ Moonfall
Between the very dead of night and day
Upon a steely sheet of light i'll lay
And in the moonfall
I'll give myself to you
I'll bathe in moonfall
And dress myself in dew
Before the cloak of night reveals the morn
Time holds its breathe while it conceals the dawn
And in the moonfall
All sound is frozen still
Yet warm against me
Your skin will warm the chill
Of moonfall
I feel its fingers lingers the veil of night shade
Light made from stars that all too soon fall
Moonfall
That falls from you
Betwixed our hearts let nothing intervene
Between our eyes the only sight i've seen
Is lustrous moonfall as it blinds my view
So that soon i only see but you

Dolly:
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye.
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye.
Don't try to stop me horace, please...
Wave your little hand and whisper
So long dearie
You ain't gonna see me anymore
And when you discover that your life is dreary
Don't you come a knockin' at my door
'cause i'll be all dolled up
And singin' that song
That says you dog, i told you so
So wave your little hand and whisper
So long dearie
Dearie, should have said so long
So long ago
Because you've treated me so rotten and rough
I've had enough of feelin' low
So wave your little hand and whisper
So long dearie
Dearie would have said so long
So long ago
For i can hear that choo choo callin' me on
To a fancy new address
Yes, i can hear that choo choo callin' me on
On board that happiness express
I'm gonna learn to dance and drink and smoke a cigarette
I'm go'n as far away from yonkers as a girl can get
So...on those cold winter nights, horace...
You can snuggle up to your cash register.
It's a bit lumpy but it rings!
Don't come a knockin'
I'll be all dolled up
And singin' that song
That says you dog, i told you so
So horace, you will find your life a sad old story
You'll be livin' in that lonesome territory
When you see your dolly shuffle off to glory
Oh i should have said so long...
How could i have been wrong?
Oh, i should have said so long...
So long ago!

Like the french people do
Because it's oh so good
Every word, every sigh, every kiss, dear,
Leads to only one thought
And the thought is this, dear!
C'est si bon
Nothing else can replace
Just your slyest embrace
And if you only would be my own for the rest my days
I will whisper this phrase
My darling, my darling...

37. _ Blind Date
Fanny & chorus
Smooth the sofa, plump the pillows
Dump the ashtrays, oh this dress
Look at me i am shaking all over,
Shaking all over
I'm a mess
Waiting wondering what i'll be thinking
When he comes walking through that door
What'll come walking through that door
A man i never saw in my life before
Oh,
I am so nervous
I got a blind date waiting to call on me (any minute now)
I got a blind date what am i gonna see (any minute now)
Right over there's the doorway, he will be walking through
Will he be six foot eight or maybe four foot two (it could happen)
I got a blind date waiting to come around (any minute now)
Oy but i'm nervous listen to my heart pound
Why do i need this headache, single is not a crime
I got a blind date
An with my luck he'll be on time
I got a girlfriend shirley, who says why not (she's an idiot)
This guy is a friend from a friend of a friend she got (hello, how do you do
What an idiot)
One thing i know is shirley ain't sitting on no shelf
If he was such a vow she'd keep him for herself (it's only natural)
She says she is he's nice and he deals in stocks (sounds good, but she's an
Idiot)
I'll bet a buck he looks like month-old lox (also and idiot)
What do i need from shirley her and her fifty cup
I got a blind date and i'm praying he stands me up
Wait wait, what am i praying he stands me up, i'll stand him up. i smell a rat
Anyway. umm. i'm gonna hide under the bed, he'll never see me, he'll walk in and look
Around, i wouldn't be there, he'll go away and that's the end of that.
Perrfect!
Now you keep quiet, not a word you hear
You didn't see a thing
Oeps there he is!
Now quiet everybody sssh quiet!
Blind date: rosalie?!
Rosalie: oi, oi, oi
Blind date: rosalie?! that's odd she doesn't seem to be here
Rosalie: smart, smart!
Blind date: i've been stood up, it's news
Rosalie: well it's better than put down
Blind date: this has never happened before
Rosalie: what and ego!
Blind date: rosalie?!
Rosalie: sh, sh, sh!
Rosalie: it worked, it worked!
He never saw me. boy am i lucky i didn't see him neither,
But i can just imagine what a lox that one was.
Rosalie: i got it right her shirley was playing tricks
Voice: no, no, that's wrong, you got it wrong
Rosalie: wait, wait, what that's not right?
Voice: no, he was gorgeous he looked like rudolph
Rosalie: rudolph who?
Voice: rudolph valentino
Rosalie: get away
Voice: yeah, the sheik from arabia
Rosalie: not the phantom from the opera?
Voice: uh, uh
Rosalie: the sheik from where?
Voice: the sheik from arabia
Rosalie: get away
Voice: that's right
Rosalie: wait a minute is this person kidding me around here?
Voice: no, no absolutely
Rosalie: get away
Rosalie: well that's what happened i let him get away
What do i'll do now maybe become a nun (that's impossible)
I'm calling shirley maybe she'll bring a gun
Please shirley, even if he's lon chaney fat, bald or short or tall
Having a blind date is better than having
No date, at no time with no one at all.
Wait a minute maybe i spoke too soon
Shirley get me out of here!
Oh this one is cute.

38. _ Dancing
Dolly [speaking]:
Put your hand on her waist and stand
With her right in your left hand
And one and one two three, ah! one two three,
Oh, no, this one...and one two three
One two three
Cornelius [speaking]:
Look i'm dancing!
Well, i was.
Dolly [speaking]:
Of course you were, mr. hackl!
[singing]
Take the someone whose arms you're in
Hold onto her tight and spin
And one two three, one two three, one two three
Cornelius:
Look, i'm dancing!
Dolly:
Come here.
Turn around and turn around, try floating through the air
Can't you be a little more aesthetic?
Cornelius:
Don't you think my dancing has a polish and a flair?
Dolly:
The word i think i'd use is athletic!
Cornelius:
Well my heart is about to burst
My head is about to pop
And now that i'm dancing who cares if i ever stop!
Dolly:
That's wonderful, mr. hackl!
Cornelius:
...look, everybody! i, cornelius hackl...sport
...i'm dancing!
Dolly:
You're next, mr. tucker!
Glide and step and then step and glide
Barnaby:
And everyone stand aside!
Dolly:
Oh, not yet mr. tucker! one, two, three...
One, two, three, ah!
Cornelius
Look, he's dancing!
Dolly
I think he's phenomenal!
You could learn to polka if you worked a week or so
Or the tango filled with passion seething
Barnaby:
I might join the chorus of the castle garden show
Dolly:
Whatever you do, mr. tucker, kee-keep breathing
All three:
For my heart is about to burst
My head is about to pop
And now that we're dancing who cares if we ever stop!
All:
Make the music weave a spell
Whirl away your worry
Things look almost twice as well
When you're slightly blurry
As around and around you go
Your spirits will hit the top
And now that we're dancing
Who cares if we ever stop
One-two-three
One-two-three
One-two
And now that we're dancing
Who cares if we ever stop!

People are born to love and be happy
Living a sunshine
And a cloudy sky can lead to a rainbow
Lookin' at life that way
(chorus)
If you're lucky to find a special man
You gotta love him all you can
And anything he wants from you
Should be the least that you can do
Don't let him down
Just give him love
Don't let his dreams turn into dust
He's only tryin' to build a wonderland for two
If you're the one to share his world
Just be the someone he can trust
For the sake of love
For the love of love
For pete's sake
Don't let him down
Don't let him down
You can live in a castle
And dream of your diamonds
Thinkin' you really walk tall
But livin' and dreamin' when you're alone
Ain't livin' or dreamin' at all

I'll love enough for both you and i
I'll be the one you can run to

Than to spend one day without you by my side

If you ever leave me
Will u take me with u?
If you're ever lonely
I wanna be lonely too

No matter where you may go
My love's inside you
Even more than you know.
In a world of anger and lies
I find peace in your eyes
A flame in the darkness

That fragile woman, that sweetheart,
That mistress, that wife...

Beyond that road lies a shining world
Beyond that road lies despair
Beyond that road lies a world that's gleaming
People who are scheming...
Beauty, hunger, glory, sorrow, never a pain or care
But i'm liable to find a couple of surprises there...
There's a song i must sing, it's a well known song,
But the tune is bitter
And it doesn't take long to learn, i can learn!
Pretty little world that beams so bright
That pretty little world that seems delightful cambered
Let me learn...let me learn...
For i can see it, shining somewhere
Bright lights somewhere invite me to compare and learn
And i'm ready, i can hear it silent singing
Inside my ear, i hear them all singing of love!
Who knows maybe all the visions that i see
May be waiting just for me to say
Take me there and make me see it, make me feel it
I know it so, i know that it really may be...
Let me learn!

46. _ Frank Mills
I met a boy called frank mills
On september twelfth right here
In front of waverly
But unfortunately
I lost his address
He was last seen with his friend
A drummer
He resembles george harrison of the beatles
But he wears his hair
Tied in a small bow at the back
I love him
But it embarrasses me
To walk down the street with him
He lives in brooklyn somewhere
And wears this white crash helmet
He has gold chains on his leather jacket
And on the back are written the names
Mary and mom and "hell's angels"
I would gratefully appreciate it
If you see him tell him
I'm in the park with my girlfriend
And please
Tell him angela and i don't want the two dollars back
Just him
Single only (1969)

Second guess his changing ways
And fill your time with people just like you
When the lovin' goes out of the lovin'
And there isn't a thing you can say
You bite your tongue and wonder why
And then you watch your life flash by
Hoping things will turn around your way
There isn't a lovin' thing i can say
There isn't a lovin' thing i can do
There isn't a lovin' way in this world
I can reach you
How can i walk away and feel free
When lovin' you means my whole life to me?
There isn't a lovin' way i could ever leave
And be free
When the lovin' goes out of the lovin'
And there's no easy way to pretend
That anything could ever be
As good a thing as you and me
Its hard to understand this is the end
There isn't a lovin' thing i can say
There isn't a lovin' thing i can do
There isn't a lovin' way in this world
I could ever reach you

And a megabyte was a really big nosh
And if it was a virus you got
You went to the doctor and got a shot, uhhh.
Internet or interface
Download, upload, database
Pixel, shmixle, cyber speak
They may as well be speaking greek!
Once... a floppy disk meant you had a bum back
A hack drove a cab
And a burgral was a mac
Modems, chat rooms, dos and dots
A mouse in your pad, that's why we had cats
Nowadays... you need a degree from mit
To operate your own tv
I used to find a channel quicker
When all you needed was one clicker
Listen, i don't mean to bicker
But now my clicker has a clicker
And each new clicker makes me sicker
If i could only find a clicker
To turn all the clickers off!!!

Some day i'll find my love
And how thrilling that moment will be
When the prince of my dreams comes to me
He'll whisper "i love you"
And steal a kiss or two
Though he's far away
I'll find my love some day
Some day when my dreams come true
Some day i'll find my love
Someone to call my own
And i'll know her the moment we meet
For my heart will start skipping a beat
Some day we'll say and do
Things we've been longing to
Though she's far away i'll find my love some day
Some day when my dreams come true.

51. _ Who Taught Her Everything?
Months later, fanny has had a telegram from florenz ziegfeld; eddie suspects
It's a job offer. eddie and mrs. brice fantasize as they help fanny get
Ready for this interview:
Mrs. brice:
Eddie, the ziegfeld follies!
Now she belongs to the ages!
My work is done,
My work is done,
Eddie:
Our work is done,
She doesn't need us,
She'll have cake,
We'll have crumbs.
Be careful of the stage door,
Here she comes, here she comes.
Hello,
Fanny, hello.
Mrs. brice:
Hello, fanny--it's me--mama.
What do you mean--mama who?
Eddie:
It's good to see her . . . from afar,
Mrs. brice:
I lost a daughter but i gained a star.
Eddie:
That's broadway!
And
Who taught her ev'rything she knows?
I taught her ev'rything she knows--
She sings like a bird--
(whistles)
Yes, indeed!
But who used to stand there
And feed her the seed?
Who taught her how to pick her clothes?
Mrs. brice:
Eddie, that i did.
Eddie:
Yeah, but who taught her her how to tap her toes?
But will she admit it?
Kid, you said it.
They all forget they know ya
When it comes to credit.
Tell me have you ever seen her take this pose?
I taught her ev'rything--
How to hoof,
And how to sing,
I taught her ev'rything she knows.
Mrs. brice:
Wait, eddie--she'll blame us yet.
Who taught her ev'rything she knows?
Eddie:
Let me hear it, rosie.
Mrs. brice:
I taught her ev'rything she knows.
Eddie:
Ain't it the truth!
Mrs. brice:
That mischievous smile,
The devil may care,
You don't pull
Such mannerisms
Out of the air.
The men who are older might prefer
The original manufactur-er.
Both:
It hurts me to say it,
But why not be fair--
When you see her on the stage
You're seein' me there.
Mrs. brice:
She still has trouble executin' one of those,
Eddie:
If they could have paid the price,
They'd have hired rosie brice,
Mrs. brice:
Who stands after every show
Sellin' matches in the snow.
Eddie:
But in the world of grease paint,
That's the way it goes.
Both:
We taught her everything--
How to hoof and how to sing,
We taught her how to wack
A joke from here to hackensack--ya, ha, ha, ha!
We taught her everything,
We taught her ev'rything she knows.

52. _ I Found A Million Dollar Baby
It was a lucky april shower;
It was the most convenient door,
I found a million dollar baby
In a five and ten cent store.
The rain continued for an hour,
I hung around for three or four,
Around a million dollar baby
In a five and ten cent store.
She was selling china
And when she made those eyes,
I kept buying china until
The crowd got wise.
Incident'ly if you should run into a shower,
Just step inside my cottage door,
And meet the million dollar baby
From the five and ten cent store.

53. _ The Power Inside Of Me
Seek and you shall find what you may already have.
Sometimes it's your own shadow standing in your path.
I have spent my life with a vision of myself,
But i may have been somebody, somebody else.
I feel a change in the tide
As i hold my heart open wide.
Never
Knew what i could be.
I never felt the power inside of me.
Now i stand in all the wonder
That the mirror couldn't see.
I have the power inside of me, yeah.
I have the power inside of me.
Every time i held a rose, i only felt the thorns.
I feel like today's the day i finally was born.
Now that i see me through these eyes,
I can do more than fantasize.
Never
Knew what i could be.
I never felt the power inside of me.
Now i stand in all the wonder
That the mirror couldn't see!
I have the power inside of me, oh woah.
Inside of me,
Inside of me!
Yeah.

54. _ Places That Belong To You
mornings, evenings
Days that hurried past
Dreams that should have lasted
Moments, hours
Slipping by as we
Told each other secrets
Somehow i'll never let go of the memories
Something always seems to remind me
Of how it was of what it was
What it was
All there was
Laughter, love songs
Footsteps that i hear
Make me think you're near me
Poems, pictures
Letters never mailed
Boats that never sailed
Remember that even though we can't be together
We're more for having loved one another
We shared the sky
We learned to fly
Someday when someone else |
55. _ Our Corner Of The Night
See us walkin' havin' fun
Hand in hand in shinin' sun
Fingers only touch along
Still between us we've got
Somethin' right
Somethin' right
Oh so right
(chorus)
We've got our corner of the night
It's along with us
Even when the sun is shinin' bright
It's along with us
And we know
We are strong
And we know
We're gonna get along alright
We've got our corner of the night
All our own
All alone
Big and tight
Brings out the night
What we've got it may not show
Still we're richer than we know
We can always run and hide
Where the world can never
Get inside
We can hide
Side by side
(repeat chorus)
We've got our corner of the night,
We've got our corner of the night.....

56. _ Let's Hear It For Me
Well i'll be damned
No i won't be damned
Because i have been damned
And i won't be damned anymore!
I walked out
He didn't walk out
It was me who walked out
It was me closing the door
"hello, operator?" i'd like to place a long distance call to a mr.
Billy rose in cleveland ohio. at the cleveland hotel. um, no, no, no,
No. i'll wait."
Billy's an alley cat that's for sure
Nick's from a horsier class
But i'd rather be with a cat's meow
Than a genuine thouroughbred horse's ass!
"um, that's alright. no. no message. thank you."
One is fantasy, one is real
One is make believe, one is real
One is picture book,
More like comic book
One is real
Billy is real
I should have seen that before
All my life on the stage
I'm a big success
All my life off the stage
What a mess!
Oh what a mess!
All my life on the stage
How they cheer the clown
All my life off the stage
I kept closing out of town
When i'm up there i'm a great big star
And i get the heftiest lift
Howdy-do!
Up there i'm a great big star
A solid and qualified hit
I'm gonna take what i do up there
And i'm gonna do it down here!
Quick as a lightning flash
I'm moving straight ahead
I'm gonna be a smash
I'm gonna knock 'em dead.......

57. _ (hello Dolly!) Finale
Horace:
Hello, dolly!
Well, hello, dolly!
It's so nice to have you here
Where you belong
I never knew dolly
Without you, dolly
Life was awfully flat
And more than that
Was awfully wrong
Dolly:
Here's my hat, horace!
I'm staying where i'm at, horace!
Dolly will never go away...
Horace:
Wonderful woman!
Both:
Again. . .
Townspeople:
Put on you sunday clothes
When you feel dawn and out
Strut down the street and have your picture took
Dressed like a dream your spirits seem to turn about
That sunday shine is a certain sign
That you feel as fine as you look!
Take the someone whose arms you're in
Hold onto her tight and spin
And one two three, one two three, one two three
Look!
Cornelius:
I held her
For an instant
But my arms felt sure and strong
All:
It only takes a moment
To be loved a whole life long...
Men:
Yes, it takes a woman
A dainty woman
A sweetheart, a mistress, a wife
Oh yes, it takes a woman
A fragile woman
To bring you the sweet things
In life!
All:
Well, well, hello, dolly!
Well, hello, dolly!
It' so nice to have you back
Where you belong
You're looking swell, dolly!
We can tell, dolly!
You're still glowin'
You're still crowin'
You're still goin' strong
You'll see the crowd swayin'
For the band's playin'
One of your old favorite songs
From way back when
Dolly
Wow, wow, wow, fellas
Look at the old girl now, fellas!
Chorus
Dolly, you'll never go away
Dolly, you'll never go away
Dolly, you'll never go away
Again!
Hello dolly, 1969

58. _ If A Girl Isn't Pretty
Funny girl is the life of vaudeville comedienne fanny brice (1891-1951), starting in 1910.
Actually the show starts after she has become a success on stage and flashes back to her
Origins. it opens in fanny's dressing room. she is waiting for her husband, nick arnstein,
To return after being in prison. she looks back to when she was a 19-year old hopeful.
Her mother's poker buddies think she's wasting her life trying to break into show business.
Mrs. strakosh:
Fanny, when people pay good money in the the-ay-ter--
Especially the male element--they want something to look at!
If a girl isn't pretty
Like a miss atlantic city,
All she gets in life
Is pity and a pat.
Mrs. brice:
Is a nose with deviation
Such a crime against the nation?
Should i throw her into jail
Or drown the cat?
Mrs. strakosh, o' malley and
Meeker:
She must shine in ev'ry detail
Like a ring you're buying retail,
Be a standard size that
Fits a standard dress.
Mrs. strakosh:
When a girl's incidentals
Are no bigger than two lentils
Mrs. strakosh, o' malley and
Meeker:
Then to me that doesn't spell success.
Fanny auditions for keeney's music hall but keeney kicks her out of the chorus
Because she doesn't look like the others.
Eddie ryan, dance director for keeney, agrees:
Eddie:
If a girl isn't pretty
Like a miss atlantic city,
She should dump the stage
And try another route.
Any guy who pays a quarter
For a seat just feels he oughter
See a figger that his wife can't
Substitute.
Kid, my heart ain't made of marble
But your rhythm's really horr'ble
And that map of yours just ain't no
Valentine.
Everything you got's about right,
But the damn thing don't come out right
So forget it, kid,
And just resign.
Chorus:
If a girl isn't pretty,
If a girl isn't pretty,
If a girl isn't pretty,
If a girl isn't pretty,
If a girl isn't pretty,
She should get a job,
Go get a job--
Get any job
Get a weekly pay,
'cause if a girl isn't pretty
Like a miss atlantic city,
She's a real miss nobody, u.s.a.

59. _ It's A New World
What a beautiful night, isn't it? the smell, crickets, ah! it worries me that we are tempering with what it took three-hundred eighty million years to create. we're being reckless with this w
Miraculous balance of nature.but i have great faith in people. i believe that if they're told, if they understand what's at stake, they will make a change. they always have. so this is for you. you-you who have the opportunity to raise your voices and do it again. the future is in your hands...
It's a new world i see
A new world for me
The tears have rolled off my cheek
And fears fade away
Every time you speak
A new world
Though we're in a tiny room
What a vision of joy
And blossom and bloom
A new found promise
One that will last
So i'm holding on
And i'm holding fast
You bring a new world to me
The way the world should be...

Fanny

Ain't these tears in these eyes telling you

But now i'm the sad and lonely one
Lonely

There was a time, i was his only one
But now i'm the sad and lonely one
Oh lonely

Till today
Now he's gone and we're through
Now he's gone and we're through
Oh god, did you hear that note
It was given to me by my friend grace moore on my birthday
Oy, was she glad to get rid of it
Through
I think i give it to her back, or her front
Am i blue
Oy, is this thing heavy

10. love is only love [top]
Dolly:
Horace vandergelder, mrs. horace vandergelder
Just leave ev'rything to me
Though it wont be like the first time
How can it be like the first time?
But why does it have to be?
Don't look for shooting stars
For love is only love
You touch and still you touch the ground
Don't listen for those bells
For love is only love
And if it's love you've found
Your heart won't hear a sound
And you hold his hand
You only hold his hand
The violins are all a bluff
But if you're really wise
The silence of his eyes
Will tell you
Love is only love
And it's wonderful enough
Without the shooting star
Without the sounds of bells
Without the violins
Love is wonderful enough!

Feeling awfully bad
What a time i had
Cause i didn't buttoned up my overcoat

All i do is sniff
Pass that handkerchief
What a funny feeling in my eyes and ears and throat
Oy, i can't sleep i can't eat
Get a pail and soak my feet
I got a code in my doze
O, i got a code in my doze
Please repeat what you said
Funny noises in my head
I got a code in my doze
Oh, i got a code in my doze
Went to see the doctor
Asked him what to do
Lordy help that doctor
He said i think i got one too
So we laid down side by side
I'm still here but the doctor died
I got a code in my doze
Oh, i got a code in my doze

You touched me in the sun
I somehow knew
I'd been the only one
How wonderful the moment
When the boy became a man
You warmed me in the night
And you taught me
How to feel
But it all would seem unreal to try
And go back there again
We walked away from time
I'd like to keep the moment
That was mine
I'd like to touch the man
I met just once
Before i go
Oh i've been to many places
And i've opened every door
I've done everything a girl could do and more
But i've never been a woman before
No, i've never been a woman before...

But you' re the only one i trust to show me the way

And in my dreams i hear you calling my name...

Some kind of light shines from your face
And i can't turn away
I'm like a prisoner captured by your eyes
I've been taken and i've been hypnotized
I'm like a prisoner captured by your eyes
I've been taken and i've been hypnotized
And your eyes say everything
You want to keep me here forever
I can't escape
One minute's so sincere
Then you completely turn against me and i'm afraid
You don't have to say you love me
'causa if you want me, i'll stay
'cause i can turn away
I'm like a prisoner captured by your eyes
I've been taken, taken by surprise
I'm like e prisoner captured by your eyes
I've been taken and i've been hypnotized
I'm like a prisoner...

68. _ His Love Makes Me Beautiful
Fanny is now part of the ziegfeld follies. she tells florenz ziegfeld
She doesn't want to be in the finale because she finds the lyrics
Inappropriate but ziegfeld insists.
Tenor:
For better or for worse, "oh promise me,"
Why does ev'ry bride glow ravishingly?
Within the secret heart of ev'ry bride
These are the words repeating, repeating,
Repeating inside: (bing, bong, bing, bong)
You are the beautiful reflection
Of his love's affection,
A walking illustration
Of his adoration
His love makes you beautiful,
So beautiful,
So beautiful,
You ask your looking glass,
What is it?
Makes you so exquisite?
The answer to your query
Comes back, dearie--
His love makes you beautiful,
So beautiful,
So beautiful,
And woman loved is woman glorified!
You'll make a beautiful,
Beautiful,
Beautiful,
Beautiful bride!
Chorus:
Here comes the bride,
Another beautiful bride.
Ziegfeld presents her
With justifiable pride.
Fanny enters with a pillow stuffed under her bridal gown so that she appears pregnant.
Fanny:
I am the beautiful reflection
Of my love's affection,
A walking illustration
Of his adoration.
His love makes me beautiful,
So beautiful,
So beautiful,
Tenor:
And woman loved is woman glorified--
Fanny:
I'll make a beautiful,
Beautiful,
Beautiful,
Beautiful--
I'm beautiful? oy!

You are so beautiful,
You are so beautiful,
You are so beautiful,

69. _ No Wonder (part Two)
No wonder she suits him,
She never disputes him.
The conversation's not too exciting
But oh, what a change it must be!
To spend an evening where there's no conversation
Must be a relief after me!
And thought there's nothing much to challenge your mind here,
Who cares when the food's so delicious?
Not to mention these beautiful dishes-
A matched set-
No wonder to me
With ribbons and laces
In all the right places,
I must admit it's all very pleasant
And this is a comf'table room.
And if he likes the smell of lilacs and roses
Then maybe he likes her perfume.
And thought her silky hair
And milky complexion are nice
Still they're not that distracting.
So what accounts for the way he's been acting?
Her softness?
Her sweetness?
How could he resist her
And why would he try?
No wonder he wants her.
He needs her-
He loves her-
No wonder-
So would i!

72. _ Cornet Man
Fanny convinces eddie she has talent and he agrees to teach her the specialty
For the next audition. she gets the job.
Fanny:
Well--
I just put the kids to sleep
And swept the shack,
Took my sweet man's satchel down
And watched him pack,
I said, "darlin', while the stove still smolders,
Unpin your woman's hair and rub her shoulders."
I threw myself across the doorway
Beggin', "stay, sweet man, stay,"
But there's more in my man's life
Than this old hag.
It's jelly roll morton, and a shiny cornet,
And jazzin' the rag!
The lady ain't been born
Can take the place of a horn,
With a cornet man.
A-goin' where there's blowin',
Trav'lin' cornet man.
Just anytime they call him
He'll leave his wife and kiddies
Sittin' with their tongues out
To play for peanuts in a dive
And blow his lungs out.
He'll hop a choo-choo on a moment's notice
To play some dates with billy bates
Or rag-time otis!
The lady ain't see light
Can give a horn a fair fight
With a cornet man
A rootin', shootin', ever-tootin' dapper dan
Who carries in his satchel
A powder-blue norfolk suit,
A silver-plated wah-wah mute,
There is whiskey, gamblin'--each one is a curse,
But i'm up against a devil that's worse.
Yes, a horn is my thorn,
My trav'lin' cornet man!
Kill yourself! tell me about it! yeah! yeah!
A powder-blue norfolk suit,
I said a silver-plated wah-wah mute,
Oh he's shy on height,
He's short on weight,
But he's the only man can make my coffee perculate,
A dapper dan,
My cornet-playin' man.
After the performance, nick arnstein comes backstage, elegant in formal dress,
To pay off a gambling debt to keeney. nick has seen the show and tells fanny
She's going to be a big star some day. fanny asks how much keeney is paying her,
And nick manages to jack up her salary by pretending to bid on behalf of a competitor.
He gives her his card and kisses her hand. eddie asks fanny out for a date,
But she only wants to be friends; already she has fallen for nick, but imagines she'll
Never see him again.

You can spare me the blues i don't sing in that key
And if there's a man who'd leave me i am happy to say
I haven't run into him yet
Gee wee wow
How lucky, how lucky can you get!

I am woman, you are man
I am smaller, so you can be taller than

Still our friendship leaves something to be desired
Does it take more explanation than this?
I am woman, you are man
I am woman
You are man
Let's kiss
I am woman, you are man
I am gentle, so you can be barbarian
I'm all pleats and pins and rogue
Mostly sham, but man i love the subterfuge
I am fiction, i hope you are fact
This contradiction is what makes it a perfect act
Oh does it take more explanation than this?

76. _ On My Own
on my own
On my own
Pretending he's beside me
All alone
I walk with him till morning
Without him
I feel his arms around me
And when i loose my way
I close my eyes and he has found me
In the rain
The pavement shines like silver
All the lights are misty in the river
In the darkness
The trees are full of starlight
And all i see is him and me forever
And i know
Its only in my mind
That i'm talking to myself
And not to him
And although i know that he is blind
Still i say
There's a way for us
I love him
But when the night is over
He is gone
And the river's just a river
Without him
The world around me changes
The trees are barren everywhere
And the streets are full of strangers
I love him
But everyday i'm learning
All my life
I've only been pretending
Without me
His world will go on turning
The world is full of happiness
That i have never known
I love him
I love him
I love him
But only

77. _ I Want To Be Seen With You Tonight
Afterwards, ziegfeld is angry but agrees she was right to go for the comedy.
Nick arnstein comes backstage and wants to escort fanny out to celebrate her
Opening night. fanny would love to go out with nick but she's obligated to
Appear at a party at her mother's saloon; she invites nick and he accepts.
Nick:
I want to be seen, be seen with you,
With you on my arm,
To wear you like a charm,
Your glitter decorating my arm.
Now, natch'rally such proximity
Gives rumors a rise,
We'll let them analyze
What our amalgamation implies.
Oh yes,
The gossips will press,
So willing to stress
The seamy side--
Know what?
So what!
I want to be seen, be seen with you,
With you on my arm.
Let's give this town a light,
And hit it like a me-te-or-ite--tonight.
I want to be seen with you.
Fanny:
The moon over mother's saloon,
Have a nice macaroon
I'll buy you a light beer.
Nick:
Right, dear.
Both:
I want to be seen, be seen with you,
Nick:
With you on my arm.
Let's give this town a light
And hit it like a me-te-or-ite--
Both:
Tonight--i want to be seen with,
Nick:
Oh, please let me be seen with,
Fanny:
And i would like to be seen with
Both:
I want to be seen with you.

78. _ No Wonder
No wonder he loves her-
No wonder at all.
The moment she sees him,
Her thought is to please him.
Before he even knows that he's hungry
She's already there with his plate.
Before his glass is even empty
She's filling it up,
God forbid he should wait!
Before he as the chance to tell her
He's chilly,
She'll go to put a log on the fire-
Fulfilling his ev'ry desire-
No trouble.
No bother.
No wonder she's pretty,
What else shoud she be?
She hasn't a worry,
And why should she worry?
When she gets up her biggest decision
Is figuring out what to wear.
To pick a blouse, a skirt,
And then there's the problem of what
Should she do with her hair.
And later as she stands and studies a chicken,
The question's "to roast or to not roast?
Or better yet maybe a pot roast?
Tomatoes? no.
Potatoes?
No wonder he likes it-
It's perfect this way.
Who wouldn't want someone who fusses and flatters?
Who makes you feel that you're all that matters?
Whose only aim in life is to serve you
And make you think she doesn't deserve you?
No wonder he loves her-
What else could he do?
If i were a man-
I would to!

79. _ Time Has Come Again
Time has come again
And love is in the wind
Like some music in a dream
You made them all come true
When you came inside of my life
Now i'm lost
Inside of you
Lost in the music
And lost in your eyes
I could spend all of my time
Hearing songs you sing
Feeling love you bring
Darling being close to you
Made all ...
Made all my dreams come true
When you came inside my life
Now i'm lost inside of you

80. _ I Won' T Last A Day Without You
Day after day
I must face a world of strangers
Where i don't belong
I'm not that strong
It's nice to know that
There's someone i can turn to
Who will always care
You're always there
When there's no getting over that rainbow
When my smallest dream won't come true
I can take all the madness
This world has to give
But i won't last a day without you
So many times
When the city seems to be
Without a friendly face
A lonely place
It's nice to know
That you'll be there if i need you
And you'll always smile
It's all worth while
When there's no getting over that rainbow
When my smallest dreams won't come true
I can take all the madness
This world has to give
But i won't last a day without you
Love, touch me
And i end up singing
Troubles seem to walk and disappear
Mmm... you touch me
With the love you're bringing
I can really loose
When you're near
When you're near
My love if all my friends
Have forgotten half their promises
They're not unkind
Just hard to find
And one look at you
And i know that i could learn to live
Without the rest, i've found the best
When there's no getting over that rainbow
When my smallest of dreams
Won't come true
I can take all the madness
This world has to give
But i won't last a day without you
No, i won't last a day without you
I can't last a day without you...

81. _ The Summer Knows
The summer smiles, the summer knows
And unashamed she sheds her clothes,
The summer smoothes the restless sky
And lovingly she warms the sand
On which you lie
The summer knows, the summer's wise,
She sees the doubts within your eyes
And so she takes her summertime
Tells the moon to wait and the sun to linger
Twists the world round her summer finger
Lets you see the wonder of it all
And if you've learned your lesson well
There's little more for her to tell
One last caress
It's time to dress
For fall.
And if you've learned your lesson well
There's little more for her to tell
One last caress
It's time to dress
For fall.

82. _ All Of My Life
I was alone,
You were alone,
Parallel lines that touched one another.
Just feeling our way,
Lost in the dark,
Drawn to each other...
So much to say, and so much to do.
So much of you for me to discover.
Like what makes you laugh,
And what makes you cry,
How does a friend become a lover, too...
I've waited all of my life to find
Someone who'd need my heart and read my mind.
To light my days and warm my nights.
Someone i know i could call,
My someone for all my life.
Looking at you, looking at me,
Loving the look of love that i see there.
I find when i look deep in your eyes
Reflections of me there.
I've waited all of my life to find
Someone who'd need my heart and read my mind.
To light my days and warm my nights.
Now all at once in your arms.
Everything's new.
All that i feel, tells me it's true.
All that i ask
Is all of my life... with you.

83. _ You Are Woman
nick and fanny meet up in baltimore where fanny is on a tour with ziegfeld's
Latest show. they have dinner at a private dining room. fanny is annoyed that
Nick hasn't been in touch for ten months. nick orders, mainly in french, which
Fanny doesn't understand. fanny is uneasy that nick might make advances in such
An intimate room.
Nick:
You are woman, i am man,
You are smaller, so i can be taller than,
You are softer to the touch,
It's a feeling i like feeling very much.
You are someone i've admired,
Still, our friendship
Leaves something to be desired.
Does it take more explanation than this?
You are woman, i am man--
Let's kiss.
Fanny:
Isn't this the height of nonchalance,
Furnishing a bed in restaurants?
Well, a bit of dinner never hurt,
But guess who is gonna be dessert?
Do good girls do just what mama says,
When mama's not around?
It's a feeling,
Oy vey, what a feeling.
Nick:
A bit of pat |
84. _ If I Love Again
Fanny
I often wonder why he came to me
Brought such a flame to me
Then let it die
And if another love should find my heart
It will remind my heart of your goodbye
With every new love
You'll come back to me
In other eyes it's you i see
If i love again
Though it's someone new
If i love again
It will still be you
In someone else's firm embrace
I close my eyes but see your face
If i love again
I'll find another charms
But i'll make believe
You are in my arms
And though my lips whisper "love me!"
My heart will not be true
I'll be loving you
Every time i love again...

85. _ Where Is It Written?
Prayer
God, our merciful father,
I'm wrapped in a robe of light
Clothed in your glory
That spreads its wings over my soul.
May i be worthy.
Amen.
There's not a morning i begin without
A thousand questions running through my mind,
That i don't try to find the reason
And the logic in the world that god designed.
The reason why
A bird was given wings,
If not to fly
And praise the sky
With ev'ry song it sings.
What's right or wrong.
Where i belong
Within the scheme of things.
And why have eyes that see and arms that reach
Unless you're meant to know there's something more?
If not to hunger for the meaning of it all.
Then tell me what a soul is for?
Why have the wings unless you're meant to fly?
And tell me please, why have a mind
If not to questino why?
And tell me where-
Where is it written what it is i'm meant to be,
That i can't dare
To have the chance to pick the fruit of ev'ry tree,
Or have my share
Of ev'ry sweet-imagined possibility?
Just tell me where, tell me where?
If i were only meant to tend the nest,
Then why does my imagination sail
Across the mountains and the seas,
Beyond the make-believe of ev'ry fairy tale?
Why have the thirst if not to drink the wine?
And what a waste
To have a taste
Of things that can't be mine?
And tell me where-
Where is it written what it is i'm meant to be,
That i can't dare-
To find the meanings in the mornings that i see,
Or have my share-
Of ev'ry sweet-imagined possibility?
Just tell me where-
Where is it written?
Tell me where-
Or if it's written anywhere?

86. _ Tomorrow Night
Look at me- i must be absolutely crazy!
How did i ever let it get this far?
Look at me!
I'm getting deeper into trouble.
Am i a woman or a man?
Am i a devil or a demon?
Papa was right!
I ask too amny questions.
He said a soul can get perplexed-
I can't believe what happens next!
Papa was right!
It seems this little game i play
Becomes more risky ev'ry day.
Tomorrow night, tomorrow night.
Under the canopy
I'll stand with her
Tomorrow night.
And place a ring upon
Her hand with her
All dressed in white
Tomorrow night.
I don't know how this came about
But i'll be wed without a doubt.
Oh. my god, i've got to get out!
Look at this-
The way one lie begets another.
Sombody wake me up and say it's all a dream.
Look how easily i fool them.
They may have eyes but they don't see.
They never really look at me.
People are blind!
How else would ev'ryone believe me?
It might be int'resting to know
Just how much further i can go.
Tomorrow night, tomorrow night.
I can't believe
What i'll presume to be
Tomorrow night.
I'm not the bride but i'm the groom to be
Tomorrow night.
And that's a monumental trick,
I'd better think of something quick.
Oh, my god, i'm feeling sick!
I could run away.
I could leave without a trace,
Go anywhere or any place
Where no one knows my face.
As a woman or a man?
I don't know, just so i can
Run away- run away!
I'd be free- i'd be rid of all of this
But there's someone i would miss
And being near him is what this is all about.
So running away is out!
Papa dear- you dreamed of dancing at my wedding.
But something tells me that i'm right
You wouldn't want to dance tonight!
Isn't this a strangely logical solution?
Things may not be as thy appear
But the advantages are clear:
He loves her- she loves him
He likes me- i like her
And i've reason to think she likes me.
She keeps him- he keeps her
I keep things as they were
It's a perfect arrangements for three!
Who'd have ever predicted
The moment would come
When i'd find myself grateful
They've kept women dumb!
She's an innocent maiden
But then so am i!
That's possible i could get by.
Look, i've seen the impossible happen before,
So maybe, god willing, it'll happen once more.
For i feel like a train on a perilous track,
With no way to stop and no way to go back.
Like a snowball that's gathering speed down a hill,
Going faster and faster and faster until
Tomorrow night, tomorrow night.
Even if someone would pray for me
Tomorrow night,
There's not a prayer
That they could say for me
Tomorrow night!
Tomorrow night- tomorrow night,
Tomorrow night... is now tonight!

87. _ I'm Not A Well Man
He's not a well man
And he's getting worse
If he had any sense
He'd be in bed with a graduate nurse
A couple of big specialists
High priced consultation
And outside waiting in the hall
Assorted logic small poor relations
His aches have got aches
His pains are in pain
And what sizzles and frizzles
Inside there all the smartest professors could not explain
-they wouldn't know what?
Be quick as you can
I might haven't got
You're dealing with not (cough!)
With not a well man
I'm not a well man
Get worse every year
All the medical doctors
Give one look
They're amazed i'm still here
I should own a pharmacy
For just my prescriptions
My bills for only pills alone
Would chill you to the bone
With conniptions
What i have been through
No man could recite
It would make your heart break
And play a story that only
Turn yet it maybe could write
A tragical plot
How can i plan?
I might haven't got
You're dealing with not (cough!)
With not a well man
I'm not a well man

88. _ Sleepin' Bee, A
When a bee lies sleepin'
In the palm of your hand
You're bewitched and deep in love's
Long looked after love
Where you'll see a sun up sky
With the morning dew
And where the days go laughin' by
As love comes a-calling on you
Sleep on bee don't waken
Can't believe what just passed
He's mine for the takin'
I am happy at last...
Maybe i dreams, but he seems
Sweet golden as a crown
A sleepin' bee done told me
I will walk with my feet off the ground
When my one true love i has found
Sleep on bee don't waken
Can not believe what just passed
He's mine for the takin'
I am happy at last...
Maybe i dreams but he seems
Golden as a crown
A sleepin' bee just told me
I will walk with my feet off the ground
When my one true love
I has found...

89. _ This Is One Of Those Moments
There are moments you remember all your life.
There are moments you wait for and dream of all your life.
This is one of those moments.
I will always remember this chair, that window,
The way the light streams in.
The clothes i'm wearing,
The words i'm hearing,
The faces i'm seeing,
The feeling i'm feeling,
The smell, the sound, will be written on my mind,
Will be written in my heart as long as i live!
I can travel the past and take what i need
To see me throught the years.
What my father learned and his father before him
Will be there for my eyes and ears.
I can walk through the forests of the trees of knowledge
And listen to the lessons of the leaves.
I can entre rooms where there are rooms within rooms,
Wrapped in a shawl that learning weaves.
I remember, papa-
Ev'rything you taught me!
What you gave me, papa-
Look at what it's brought me!
There are certain things that once you have
No man can take away-
No wave can wash away-
No wind can blow away-
And now they're about to be mine!
No tide can turn away-
No fire can burn away-
No time can wear away.
I can open doors and take from the shelves
All the books i've longed to hold.
I can ask all the questions,
The whys and the wheres
As the myst'ries of life unfold.
Like a link in a chain from the past to the future,
That joins me with the children yet to be,
I can now be a part of the ongoing stream,
That has always been a part of me!
There are certain things that once you have
No man can take away-
No wave can wash away-
No wind can blow away-
No tide can turn away-
No fire can burn away-
No time can wear away-
And now they're about to be mine!
There are moments you remember all your life.
There are moments you wait for and dream of all your life.
This is one of those moments!

90. _ So Long Honey Lamb
Fanny & chorus
So long honey lamb i'll be seeing you time for us to part
I'll be twinkling
So long honey lamb i'll be keeping you right here in my heart
Watch me winckeling
Think of this as temporary
Just a toedeloe
Toeldeloe to you too
How much will i miss you
How much
Very
Let that see you through
But in the mean time
So long honey lamb we'll be close again
Baby don't cry
Someday we'll be nose to nose again
Someday bye and bye
In a world that has no winter were each month is june
So long honey lamb i'll be seeing you soon
I certainly know i'm gonna miss the old plantation
And the sound of banjo's thrumming on the summernights
I certainly know i hate my common situation
Because i'm on a cord and wings and i'm afraid from heights
I'm certainly gonna miss the taste of watermelon
And the fields i ran and the hills i hiked
All i'm gonna get to meet up here is angels
And to tell the truth i never met an angel my life
I certainly know i didn't trew a lucky seven
Though i'm hardly a complainer and a wooden carp
I wonder what the hell i'm gonna do in heaven
I could never plug a chicken and alone a harp
When you gotta go they tell you
Well you gotta go
When you gotta go they tell you
You gotta go
So faith my child has pluses and minuses
Golden dust is cleansing my sinuses
Rise above if that's what you gotta do
Look up i am ca ca i got news for you
So long honey lamb i'll be seeing you soon
Look for me in the moon
I'll be seeing you soon
