1.IF A GIRL ISNTPRETTY [ Top ]

ENSEMBLE

Fanny, when people pay good money at the theater, specially 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

Is a nose with deviation such a crime against the nation!

Should I throw her into jail or drown the cat?

She must, a, shine in every detail like a ring you're buying retail

Be a standard size that fits a standard dress

When a girl's incidentals are no bigger than two lentils

Then to me it doesn't smell success!


She should dump the stage and find another root

Any guy who pays a quarter for a seat just feels he oughta

See a figure that his wife cant substitute!

Kid, my heart aint made o marble

But your rhythms really horrble

An that nap of yours just stands no Valentine!

Evrything you gots about right

But the damn thing dont come out right

So forget it kid and just resign

If a girl isnt pretty!




If a girl isnt pretty, she should get a job,

Or get a job, get any job, get a weekly wage!

Cause if a girl isnt pretty like a Miss Atlantic City

Shes a real Miss Nobody USA!

2.I'M THE GREATEST STAR[ Top ]

FANNY

Listen!I've got 36 expressions--

Sweet as pie to tough as leather,

And that's six expressions more than all them Barrymores put together.

Instead of just kicking meWhy don't they give me a lift?

It must be a plot,'Cause they're scared that I got Such a gift--well I'm miffed--

'Cause I'm the greatest star--

I am by far, but no one knows it!

Wait, they're gonna hear a voice

A silver flute--ah hah, ah hah

They'll cheer each toot(Yeah, she's terrific!)

When I expose it!

Now can't you see to look at me

That I'm a natch'ral Camille?

As Camille I just feel

I've so much to offer

Kid, I know I'd be divine because

I'm a natch'ral cougher[coughing sounds]

Some ain't got it--not a lump

I'm a great big clump of talent!

Laugh! Ooo!They'll bend in half.(

Did you ever hear the story about the traveling salesman?)

A thousand jokes

Stick around for the chokes,

A thousand faces.

I reiterate,

When you're gifted, then you're gifted

These are facts--

I got no axe to grind

Hey, what are they blind?

In all the world so far

I'm the greatest star!

Who is the pip with pizazz?

Who is all ginger and jazz?

Who is as glamorous as?

Who's an American beauty rose,

With that American beauty nose,

And ten American beauty toes,

Eyes on the target and wham--

One shot, one gun shot and bam?

Hey, Mr. Ziegfeld, here I am!

I'm the greatest star,

I am by far,But no one knows it!

That's why I was born--

I'll blow my horn

Till someone knows it

I'll light up like a light

Right up like a light

I'll flicker, then flare up

All the world's gonna stare up

Looking down you'll never see me--

Try the sky,

'Cause that'll be me.

I can make 'em cry,

I can make 'em sigh,

Someday they'll clamor for my dram-er

Have you guessed yet,

Who's the best yet?

If you ain't I'll tell you one more time.

You bet yer last dime!

In all the world so far

I'm the greatest, greatest star!

3.CORNET MAN [ Top ] FANNY

FANNY

Well, mmm...

I've just put the kids to sleep

And swept the shack

Took my sweet man satchel down

And watched him pack

I said darling while the stove still smoulders

Unpin your woman's hair and rub her shoulders

I threw myself across the doorway

Begging: 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 jazzing the rag

The lady ain't been born

Can't take the place of a horn

With that cornet man,

A goin' with his blowin'

Traveling cornet man,

Just anytime they call him

He'll leave his wife and kids

A sitting with their tongues out

To play for peanuts in a dive

And blow his lungs out

He'll hop a choo-choo on the moments notice

To play some dates with Billy Bates

And ragtime Otis

The lady ain't seen light

Can't give a horn a fair fight

With that cornet man

A rootin shooten

Ever tooten dappar dan

Who carries in his satchel

A powder blue Norflok suit

A silver plated wah wah mute

There is whisking, gambling

Each one is a curse

But I'm up against

A devil that's worse

Yes, a horn is my thorn

My traveling cornet man

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

A powder blue Norfolk suit

A silver plated wah wah mute

He's shy on height

He's short on weight

But he's the only man

Can make my coffee percolate

That dapper DanMy cornet playin' man...

6.I WANNA BE SEEN WITH YOU TONIGHT[ Top ]

NICK

I wanna be seen

Be seen with you

With you on my arm

To wear you like a charm

You're glad to decorating my arm

Now naturally, such proximity

Gives rumors a rise

Well, let them analyze

What our rumor commission implies

Oh, yes, the gossips will press

So willing to stress

They see me sigh

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 meteorite

Tonight I wanna be seen with you

NOT YET AVAILABLE!

8.PEOPLE [ Top ]FANNY BRICE

We travel single all

Maybe we're lucky but

I don't know

With them just let one kid fall down

And seven mothers faint

I guess we're both happy, but maybe we ain't

People, people who need people,

Are the luckiest people in the world

We're children, needing other children

And yet letting our grown-up pride

Hide all the need inside

Acting more like children than children

Lovers are very special people

They're the luckiest people in the world

With one person one very special person

A feeling deep in your soul

Says you were half now you're whole

No more hunger or thirst

But first be a person who needs people

People who need people

Are the luckiest people in the world...

9.YOU ARE WOMAN [ Top ]

NICK

You, are woman, I am man

You are smaller, so I can be taller than

You are softer to the touch,'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 women I am man let's kiss

FANNY BRICE

Isn't this the height of nonchalance

Furnishing a bed in restaurants

Well a bit of diner never hurt

But guess who is gonna be desert

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 pate?

FANNY BRICE

Mmm I drink it all day

Should I do the things he'll tell me to

In this pickle what would Nelly do

In my soul I feel a inner lack

Just suppose he wants his dinner back

BOTH

Does it takes more explanation than this

FANNY BRICE

Just some dried out toast in a sliver

On the top a little chopped liver

How many girls become a sinner

While waiting for a roast beef dinner

Though most girls slip in ordinary ways

I got style I do it bordelaise

Well at least he thinks I'm special

He ordered a la carte

It's a feeling I like feeling very much

I feel the feeling down to my toes

Now I feel that there's a fire here

Try that once a little higher dear

What a beast to ruin such a pearl

Would a convent take a Jewish girl?

BOTH

Does it takes more explanation than this

FANNY BRICE

Oh, the thrills and chills going through me

If I stop him now can he sue me

NICK You are woman

FANNY BRICE

You are man

BOTH

Let's kiss

10.DON'T RAIN ON MY PARADE [ Top ]

FANNY BRICE

Don't tell me not to live, just sit and putter

Life's candy and the sun's a ball of butter

Don't bring around a cloud to rain on my parade

Don't tell me not to fly, I simply got to

If someone takes a spill, it's me and not you

Who told you you're allowed to rain on my parade

I'll march my band out, I'll beat my drum

And if I'm fanned out, your turn at bat, sir

At least I didn't fake it, hat, sir

I guess I didn't make it

But whether I'm the rose of sheer perfection

A freckle on the nose of life's complexion

The cinder or the shiny apple of its eye

I gotta fly once, I gotta try once,

Only can die once, right, sir?

Ooh, life is juicy, juicy and you see,

I gotta have my bite, sir.

Get ready for me love, 'cause I'm a "comer"

I simply gotta march, my heart's a drummin'

Don't bring around a cloud to rain on my parade,

I'm gonna live and live NOW!

Get what I want, I know how!

One roll for the whole shebang!

One throw that bell will go clang,

Eye on the target and wham,

One shot, one gun shot and bam!

Hey, Mr. Arnstein, here I am ...

I'll march my band out,

I will beat my drum,

And if I'm fanned out, your turn at bat, sir,

At least I didn't fake it, hat, sir,



I simply gotta march, my heart's a drummer

Nobody, no, nobody, is gonna rain on my parade!

11.SADIE, SADIE [ Top ]

FANNY BRICE

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 chamber maids 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

Cracking 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

CHORUS

She's Sadie Sadie married lady

FANNY BRICE

Meet a mortgagee,

CHORUS

The owner of a ice-box

FANNY BRICE

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

Than 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

CHORUS

She's Sadie Sadie married lady

Sadie you did the trick

FANNY BRICE

It's nothing

CHORUS

Not every girl can get herself a guy who looks like Nick

FANNY BRICE

Thanks!To tell the truth, it hurt my pride

The groom was prettier than the bride

CHORUS

Sadie, Sadie married lady

FANNY BRICE

Husband, house, a mortgagee, a baby

CHORUS

Sadie, Sadie married lady

FANNY BRICE

That's who?

CHORUS

That's you!

FANNY BRICE

That's me married lady

CHORUS

Say hello to Ziegfelds married lady, Sadie!

NOT YET AVAILABLE!

13. RAT-TAT-TAT-TAT [ Top ]

CHORUS

Our boys went rat-tat-tat-tatRat-tat-tat-tat

And shot the Kaiser where he's

Sat at-at-at

With every pot of tea pot

Some proud to go 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

'Cause they are Yankee Doodle

Yankee Doodle, Yankee Doodle boys

Company, order, line!

Welcome

I'm private Jones from Arkansas

I'm private Smith from Kansas

I'm private Ryan from Maine

I'm private Bert from Wisconsin

I'm private O'Brian from Texas

I'm private Muntz from Michigan

FANNY BRICE

I'm private Schwartz from Rockaway

And I guess you heard reports

That the Kaiser runs a black away

Then they tell him here come Schwartz

'Cause when I get mad, believe it Jack

Out from nowhere comes a maniac

I'll kick in the foot

A shot in the pants

I wouldn't give a second chance

Schwartz win Rockaway

Private Schwartz, private Schwartz, private Schwartz

Along the way

I met mademoiselle from out of here

And my bagels gave a spin

Oy, oy!

She said private Schwartz, come closer, dear

What intimacy I got in

When you're fighting for democracy

Call on Irving Schwartz and company

I'm through and through

Red, white end bluish

I talk this way because I'm British

Hell for Rockaway

Don't pull the deck away

'Cause sailing home is General Schwartz

CHORUS

Rat-tat-tat-tat

We'll give their backs a big pat

They deserve a great big medal

And a loud hoarse laugh

Over here and over there

We'll give rat-tat-tat-tat-tat

Rat-tat-tat-tat-tat

Rat-tat-tat-tat-tat

Yes, a Yankee Doodle

Yankee Doodle

Rat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat

Hurrah!

14.WHO ARE YOU NOW?[ Top ]

FANNY BRICE

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 loving 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 who are you now?

Who are you now?

Are you someone better for my love?

15.THE MUSIC THAT MAKES ME DANCE[ Top ]

FANNY

I add two and two,

The most simple addition

Than swear that the figures are lying

I'm much a better comic than mathematician

Cause I'm better on stage than at intermission

And as far as the man is concerned

If I've been burned

I haven't learned

I know he's around

When the sky and the ground start in ringing

I know that he's near by the thunder I hear in advance

His words, his words alone

Are the words that can start my heart singing

And his is the only music that makes me dance

He'll sleep and he rise

In the light of two eyes that adore him,

Bore him it might,

But he won't leave my sight for a glance

In every way, every day,

I need less of myself,

I need more him, more him,

Cause his is the only music that makes me dance

Cause his is the only music that makes me dance.

16.DON'T RAIN ON MY PARADE (Finale)[ Top ]

FANNY


I'll beat my drum,

Guess we didn't make it,

At least I didn't fake it,

Don't tell me not to live, just sit and putter,

Life's candy, the sun's a ball of butter,


I'm gonna live and live now,

Get what I want I know how

All that the law will allow

Hey gorgeous, here we go again

Well here it goes kid no looking back

Stiff upper nose kid, let's give him hell Brice

We'll cry a little later,

Well Brice that's life in the theater

Get ready for me world, 'cause I'm a "comer"

I simply gotta march, my heart's a drummin'

Nobody, no nobody is gonna rain on my parade!

I have 36 expressions

Sweet as pie and tough as leather

And that's six expressions more

Than all them Barrymores put together

Instead of just kicking me why don't they give me a lift

Well, it must me a plot

'Cause they're scared that I got such a gift

Well I'm miffed

'Cause I'm the greatest star

Wait, they're gonna hear a voice

A silver flute

There'll cheer each toot

(Yeah, she's terrific!)

When I expose it!

Now can't you see to look at me

That I'm a natural Camille

As Camille I just feel,

I have so much to offer

(Hey listen kid I know I'd be divine because ...)

I'm a natural cougher[couching sounds]

Some ain't got it, not a lump

I'm a great big clump of talent!

Laugh, they'll bend in half

(Did you ever hear that story about the traveling salesman?)

A thousand jokes

(Stick around for the chokes)

A thousand faces,

I reiterate

When you're gifted

Than you're gifted

These are facts I got no ax to grind

Hey, what are you blind?

In all the world so far, I'm the greatest star

No autographs please

[spoken]

Do you think beautiful girls are gonna stay in style forever?

What if I say not, any minute now they're gonna be out

Finished!

Then it'll be my turn!

[sung]Who is the pip with pizezz?

Who is all ginger and jazz?

Who is as glamorous as?

Who's an American beauty rose,

With an American beauty nose,

And ten American beauty toes,

Eyes on the target and wham

One shot one gunshot and bam?

Hey, mister Keeney here I am

I'm the greatest star

I am by far but no one knows it!

That's why I was born

I blow my horn

Till someone blows it.

I'll light up like a light,

Right up like a light

I'll flicker, then flare up, ah, ah!

All the world's gonna stare up

Looking down you'll never see me

Try the sky 'cause that'll be me!

I can make them cry

I can make them sigh

Some day they'll clamor for my drama

Have you guessed yet, who's the best yet?

If you ain't I'll tell you one more time

You bet yer last dime

In all of the world so far

I am the greatest, greatest star!

3.IF A GIRL ISN'T PRETTY [ Top]


All she gets from life is pity and a pat

Kindly name her a star or hasn't

won a contest or a pageant

If she hasn't, she just never gets to that

She must a-shine in every detail

Like a ring you buy in retail

Be a standard size that fits a standard dress

When a girl's incidentals are no bigger than two lentils

Then to me it doesn't smell success

From three faces that could cause ya

To have temporary nausea

Do I have to hear a lecture such as that?

Is her nose with deviation such a crime against the nation!

Should I throw her into jail or drown the cat?

So she looks a bit off-balanced,

She possesses golden talents

Or is that a pill too bitter to digest?

Oh she's got very nice departments, mmm!

But when they see that at the whole sum, mmm!

From the gallery they'll be throwin' fruit!

4.ROLLER SKATE RAG [ Top]

LAURA! SALLY! CARRIE! NORMA! RUDY! POLLY! FANNY!

The roller skate rags are really up-to-date back

It's heard every place, you'll find the clan rolls by

Pick your skates, turn your wheels

You're gonna be surprised how your torso feels!

Oui! Oui!Because in Paree, in gay Paree 'cross the sea

"Zey" are bigger "zan" none had ever used to be

Turn yo' hips, take 'em up

The ever lovely roller skate rag is on the top!

Keep yo' eyes around the take

Get yo' torso undulated

Be forever syncopated, knotty

And accelerate

The ever lovely roller skate rag is on the top!

5.I'D RATHER BE BLUE OVER YOU (ThanHappy With Somebody Else) [ Top ]

FANNY BRICE

I'd rather be blue thinking of you

I'd rather be blue over you

Than be happy with somebody else

I'm crazy about'cha, without'cha

For you I'm strong.

I can't do without'cha

Howcha magoucha? Don't stay too long.

I need a little ah, little ooh, little oh,

And I'm knocking on wood.

Ah, honey hurry up, hurry up, hurry up

It's so hard to be good




Will I be good?

Will I be bad?

Don't be a fool, you fool.

My little flat, I'm turning that into a Sunday school

While you're away, I'm here to say

There'll be no iceman there.

Singin' the blues I'm gonna use

Nothin' but Frigidaire.




Blue over you, I'd rather be blue over you

Than be hap-hap-hap-happyWith somebody else.

6.HIS LOVE MAKES ME BEAUTIFUL[ Top ]

CHORUS

The most beautiful bride in the world

And we are the very lucky gents

Who'll be standing at the sides

Of the scintillating brides

Florence Ziegfeld proud presents

You are a beautiful reflection of his loves affection

A walking illustration of his adoration



You ask the looking glass what is it,

That makes you so exquisite


Comes back dearie



A woman in love this woman glorified

You'll make a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful bride...

GIRLS

The winter bride is typified

By Christmas, frost and fairies

An though the weather is changeable

Her virtue never varies

The springtime bride is story eyed, as poets often say

No other bride would dare to dream the dreams that April, May,

The summer bride is glorified by Merlin's magic touch

A lucky man receives the love of June, July and such

The autumn bride is prude and wise at sweet sixteen or twenty

And as a wife in future life she'll hold the horn of plenty

And now a singing bride who vocally encompasses

The happiness and harmony that marriage truly promises

FANNY BRICE

I am the beautiful reflection

Of my love's affection

A walking illustration

Of his adoration

CHORUS



FANNY BRICE

Is ask my looking glass what is it

That makes me so exquisite

Mrs. Arnstein, Mrs. Arnstein what a beautiful, beautiful name...

Sadie Sadie married lady

See what's on my hand

There's nothing quite as touching

As a simple wedding band

Oh how that marriage license works

On chamber maids and hotel clerks

The honeymoon was such delight

That we got married that same night

Oh, Sadie Sadie married lady,

Sadie you did the trick

Not every girl can get herself a guy who looks like Nick

To tell the truth, it hurt my pride

The groom was prettier than the bride

Sadie, Sadie married lady that's me

We're sailing home so Rosie dear

Bring chicken-soup down to the pier

Sadie, Sadie married lady that's me

NICK

Sadie Sadie married lady

FANNY BRICE

Meet a mortgagee, the owner of a ice-box

With a ten year guarantee

Oh sit me in the softest seat

Quick a cushion for my feet

Do for me buy for meLift me carry me

Finally got a guy to marry me

I do my nails, read up on sales

All day the records play

Than he comes home I tell him

Oy what a day I had today

I swear I do my wifely job

Just sit at home become a slob

A husband, a house and a beautiful reflection

Of my loves affection

Sadie Sadie married lady that's me!

11.THE SWAN [ Top ]

FANNY BRICE

What are ya gonna do? Shoot da swans? These lovelies?

Can't you see when you look at me What a lovely creature is a swan- yo hoo!!

I'm all over fluffy white.

I wouldn't peck at you or bite And have tiny twinkle toes to dance upon-

Oh was that good? So you just gotta have a swan Or you're out of luck

'Cause a chicken wouldn't do it

Would only cluck

And besides you couldn't say "I saw a chicken leg ballet"

They would think you don't know nothin' You are missing you are button

'Cause a chicken's only good for consummate

Where upon, where upon,

Where upon where upon

A chicken or a duck is a mistake

When you do Swan Lake Ballet!

FUNNY GIRL [Top]

FANNY BRICE

Funny

Did you hear that

Funny

Yeah, the guy said honey

You're a funny girl

That's me I just keep them

In stitches dug out in half

And though I may be all wrong for the guy

I'm good for a laugh

I guess it's not funny

Live is far from sunny

When the love is over

And the jokes are you

A girl ought to have a sense of humor

That's one thing you really need for sure

When you're a funny girl

A fellow said a funny girl

Funny, how it ain't so funny

Funny girl...

12.MY MAN [ Top ]

Oh, my man, I love him so

He'll never know

All my life is just despair

But I don't care

When he takes me in his arms

The world is bright all right

What's the difference if I say

I'll go away

When I know I'll come back on my knees someday

For whatever my man is

I am hisforever more

Oh my man I love him so

He'll never know

All my life is just despair

But I don't care

When he takes me in his arms

The world is bright all right

What's the difference if

I sayI'll go away

When I know I'll come back on my knees someday

For whatever my man isI am his forever more
