unknown

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

Fanny & chorus
When you're down and out
Lift up your head and shout
There's gonna be a great day
Angels in the sky
Promise that be by and by
There's gonna be a great day
Gabriel will warn you
Some early morn
You will hear his horn
It's not far away
Lift up your head and say
There's gonna be a great day
Great day

When you're down and out
Lift up your head en shout
There's gonna be a great day
Angels in the sky
Promise that by en by
We're gonna see a great day
Gabriel will warn you
Somebody born
You will hear his horn, his horn
It's not far away
Lift up your head and say
There's gonna be a great day
When the skies went darker, oh lord!
Came noah's ark, oh lord!
Amen and amen!
Amen and amen!

He came in january, february, march, april, may, june
July, and august, september october, november,
De de december
It was a great day
It was a great day
One of those great days
And on judgment day
If you believe he will receive you and me
Gabriel will warn you
Some early morn
You will his horn, his horn
It's not far away
Lift up your head and say
There's gonna be a great
We're gonna see a great
There's gonna be,
Be a great day.

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

Extra! extra!
I'm in love
I gotta thank my luck stars above
Hurry, hurry don't be late
I can't wait
I gotta celebrate
It's a fact
We got a first rate act
It's evident when we make love
The main event
You're my every thought
Baby
You're my own attraction
You must be heaven's saint
You give me so much satisfaction
You're the one
You make life worth fighting for
You're the one-ah!
And there is nobody quite like you
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
Cause you're the one
You make life worth fighting for
You're the one
And there is nobody quite like you
You're my number one
You're my number one

Extra! extra!
I'm in love
I gotta thank my luck stars above
Hurry, hurry don't be late
I can't wait
I gotta celebrate
It's a fact
We got a first rate act
It's evident when we make love
The main event
We're the main event!

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!

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!

Fanny
Say it's only a paper moon, sailing over a cardboard see
But it wouldn't be make belief if you belief in me

I like him i know he's phoney
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
Could be i like him cause
So am i

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...

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
We might be similarly occupied

Shall we dance?

(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 and make me dance, come on and make me 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
Shall we dance?
(shall we? shall we? shall we? shall we? shall we?)
Shall we dance? (shall we dance?)
Shall we dance? (shall we dance?)
(shall we? shall we? shall we?)
Shall we dance? (shall we dance?)

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

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!

I'm late, i'm late
I'd love to stop and chatter,
But i don't have a minute
I must meet with the mad hatter.
The mad, mad, mad, mad hatter.
We must chat about a very important matter.

I'm late, i'm late
For a very important date,
No time to say hello,
Goodbye, i'm late, i'm late
I'm late, i'm late,
I'm late, i'm late
Ah!

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

Just name that kind of man your sister wants
And she'll snatch them up
Don't forget to bring your maiden aunts and
She'll match

All the day and night-time hear me sigh
I never had the least notion
That i could fall with so much emotion

C'est si bon
Lovers say that in france
When they thrill to romance
It means that it's so good
C'est si bon
So i say to you
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...
C'est si bon!

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.

When i fall you're my place to mend
I lose my touch, you're my hands
The one i hold on to
If you run out of reasons to try
I'll love enough for both you and i
I'll be the one you can run to
Bridge
I'd rather go through any pain love puts us through
Than to spend one day without you by my side

Chorus
If you ever leave me
Will u take me with u?
If you're ever lonely
I wanna be lonely too
My home's beside you
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

Our boys went rat-tat-tat-tat,
Rat-tat-tat-tat,
And shot the kaiser where he sat-tat-tat-at.
With every poppity-pop,
Some kraut took a drop.
American boys are all such straight shooters--
We'll take care of him, mother,
When he comes home from the war.
We'll take care of him, mother,
We'll do everything that you would do--yeah--and more.
Rat-tat-tat-tat,
We'll give their backs a big pat.
They deserve a future full of joys

And i guess you heard reports
That the kaiser runs a block away
When they tell him, here comes schvartz,

Out from nowhere comes a maniac,
A kick in the foot,
A shot in the pants--
I wouldn't give a second chance.

And my bagels gave a spin (oy, yoy),

Ven you're fighting for democracy,
Call on irving schvartz and company,
I'm through and through
Red, white and bluish,

Because i'm british.
Tell far rock-a-way, don't pull the dock away,
'cause sailing home is general schvartz.

I'm late, i'm late
For a very important date,
No time to say hello,
Goodbye, i'm late, i'm late
I'm late, i'm late and...
And when i wave i lose all the time i save.
My fuzzy ears and whiskers took me too much time to shave.

I run and then i hop, hop, hop,
I wish that i could fly.
There's danger if i dare to stop and here's the reason why.

Dolly:
It takes a woman to quietly plan
To take him, to change him to her kind of man
And to gently lead him
Where fortune can find him
And not let him know that the power behind
Was that dainty woman
That fragile woman, that sweetheart,
That mistress, that wife...
Mmm uhm mmm
Mmm uhm mmm mmm mmm
Dah dah dah dah dah dah dah
Dah daaaaaaaaaaaaah...

When the lovin' goes out of the lovin'
And there isn't a thing you can do
But reminesce of yesterdays
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
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

Oh, when the lovin' goes out of the lovin'

remember when...
Online was where you hung the wash
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!!!

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.

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

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.....

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.......

Am i blue
Am i blue
Ain't these tears in these eyes telling you
Am i blue
You'd be too if each plan with your man
Done fell through
There was a time, i was his only one
But now i'm the sad and lonely one
Lonely
Was i gay
Till today
Now he's gone and we're through
Am i blue
There was a time, i was his only one
But now i'm the sad and lonely one
Oh lonely
Was i gay
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

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...

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...

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

With banners congratulating fanny. the neighbors and party guests all sing:

Brighter tonight than the white house.

And we won't come until we've kissed a girl!

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!
Chorus:
You are so beautiful,
You are so beautiful,
You are so beautiful,
Tenor:
Such a beautiful bride.

Fanny
Ain't she got fun,
She's the luckiest one

Satin on my shoulder and a smile on my lips
How lucky can you get
Money in my pocket right at my fingertips
How lucky can you get
Every night a party where the fun never ends
You can circle the globe with my circle of friends
Someone i am crazy for is crazy for me
I'm his personal pet
Wow how lucky can you get
See her diamonds are gleam her life is a dream
Wrap it up and charge it that's my is my favourite phrase
How lucky can you get
When i see the chauffeur think i'll give him a raise
How lucky can you get
Weekends in the country with the baron of course
And a wardrobe to shock mrs asters pet horse
Making merry music with the one that i love
We're a perfect duet
Gee how lucky can you
Wee how lucky can you
Wow how lucky can you get

Ain't she got fun
She's the luck the luck the luck the luck the luck
The luck the luck the luck the luck the luck
The luck

Satin on my shoulder how lucky can you get
Money in my pocket how lucky can you get
Every night's a party where the fun never ends
You can circle the globe with my circle of friends
Someone i am crazy for is crazy for me
I'm his personal pat
Wow how lucky can you get
He there gorgeous!
Big success!
What's your secret gorgeous!
Just lucky i guess

You wanna know what it's really like
Fantastic!
Satin on my shoulder and a smile on my lips
Money in my pocket right at my fingertips
Wrap it up and charge it that's my favourite phrase
How lucky
When i see the chauffeur think i'll give him a raise
How lucky
Life's a bed of roses whirling perfume on me
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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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...

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!

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...

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
