Baby Face (Davis/Akst)
Baby face! You've got the cutest little baby face
There is no other one could take your place
Baby face! You sure have started something
Baby face! I'm up in heaven when I'm in your fond embrace
I didn't need a shove 'cause I just fell in love with your
pretty baby....
Jimmy (Van Heusen/Cahn)
Jimmy, oh Jimmy silly boy!
Gee, what a real swell guy!
Jimmy, oh Jimmy, oh what joy!
He makes your troubles fly
His glance has fireworks in it
We kiss, my heart does a whizz bang flip flop
Heaven for a minute
Jimmy, oh Jimmy don't you know
What I can't quite confess
So coax me, implore me
I promise you won't bore me
Oh Jimmy, I might say yes.
His glance has fireworks in it
We kiss my heart does a whizz bang flip flop
Heaven for a minute
Jimmy, oh Jimmy don't you know
What I can't quite confess
So coax me, implore me
I promise you won't bore me
Oh Jimmy, I might say yes.
Poor Butterfly
Mr Graydon: That Miss Dorothy! Great Scott, that Miss Dorothy.
Pretty as a peach and skinned to beat the band.
Perfect little pippin.
Millie: Perfect?
Mr Graydon: What a dandy little bundle for a fellow to cuddle
Millie: Dandy?
Mr Graydon: Say, imagine all that sweet softness in your
arms, uh huh
Millie: Yes, well I'll type up this survey report right
away then, Mr. Graydon or...
Mr Graydon: Don't forget the dinner reservation at The
Plaza,
Candlenook Room, quiet corner table for two.
I think Miss Dorothy's for The Plaza, don't you?
And John... flowers.
Millie: There's a flower nook(?)
Just around the corner from the hotel.
I'll order from them
Mr Graydon: That's using the old bean, John.
Roses, pink, plump, long-stemmed, two dozen, in a vase
Millie: Poor Butterfly 'neath the blossoms waiting
Poor Butterfly for she loved him so
Plaza Hotel, please. Candle Nook Room
The moments pass into hours
The hours pass into years
Candle Nook Room?
Mr. Trevor Graydon would like to order a
quiet corner table for two. Tonight,
seven-thirty... thank you
And as she smiles through her tears,
She murmurs low
The moon and I know that he'll be faithful
I'm sure he'll come to me by and by
Flower Box, please
But if he don't come back
I'll never sigh or cry
Flower Box?
Mr. Trevor Graydon would like to order some
roses. Two dozen, long-stemmed, pink -
on the fat side!
I just must die!
Poor Butterfly
The Tapioca (Van Heusen/Cahn)
Everybody
Tap Tap Tap Tap Tap Tap Tapioca, everybody!
Slap Slap Slap Slap Slap Slap Slapioca
If you're dapper
Dap-dap-dap-dap-dappier
Flappers flap-flap-flappier
Everyone is happier
When they do the tap-Tapioca
When they do the flap-flapioca
Tap Tap Tap Tapioca Slap Slap Slap Slapioca
Tap Tap Tap Tap the Tapioca.
Let's pretend we've got a beau (?)
We're gonna have some sport, ha!
Add trumpet licks and a ragtime beat
Let's say about a quart, yeah!
You stir and stir it with your knee
Adding a bump or two
You heat it, mash it, beat it, smash it
If there's a lump or two
Don't let the temperature drop too many degrees.
Or you'll wind up with what is called
The frozen tapioca freeze
Everybody Tap Tap Tap Tap Tap Tap Tapioca
Everybody freeze!
Slap Slap Slap Slap Slap Slap Slapioca, everybody freeze!
Thoroughly Modern Millie (Van Heusen/Cahn)
There are those I suppose
Think we're mad, Heaven knows
The world has gone to rack and to ruin
What we think is chic, unique and quite adorable
They think is odd and sodom and gomorrah-able, but the fact is
Everything today is thoroughly modern
Check your personality
Everything today makes yesterday slow
Better face reality.
It's not insanity says Vanity Fair
In fact, it's stylish
To raise your skirts and bob your hair.
In a rumble seat, the world is so cozy
If the boy is kissable
And that tango dance they wouldn't allow
Now is quite permissible.
Goodbye, good-goody girl
I'm changing and how!
So beat the drums cause here comes
Thoroughly modern Millie now!
Everything today is thoroughly modern
Bands are gettin' jazzier
Everything today is starting to go
Cars are gettin' snazzier
Men say it's criminal what women'll do.
What they're forgetting
Is this is Nineteen Twenty-Two.
Have you seen the way they kiss in the movies?
Isn't is delectable?
Painting lips and pencil lining your brow
Now is quite respectable.
Goodbye good-goody girl
I'm changing and how!
So beat the drums cause here comes
Thoroughly modern Millie now!
