FIT AS A FIDDLE Gene Kelly and Donald O'Connor
ALL I DO IS DREAM OF YOU Debbie Reynolds & Girly Chorus
Fit as a fiddle and ready for love. I can jump over the moon up above. Fit as a fiddle and ready for love!
Kathy and Girls: All I do is dream of you The whole night through With the dawn, I still go on And dream of you You're every thought You're everything You're every song I ever sing Summer, winter, autumn and spring.
I haven't a worry, I haven't a care, I feel like a feather that's floating on air, Fit as a fiddle and ready for love! Soon all the church bells will be ringing And I'll march with Ma and Pa. All the church bells will be ringing, With a hey naughty-knotty and a hotcha-cha darling. Hi, diddle-diddle, my baby's OK, Ask me a riddle, I'm waiting to say Fit as a fiddle and ready for love! Soon all the church bells will be ringing And I'll march with Ma and Pa. All the church bells will be ringing, With a hey naughty-knotty and a hotcha-cha darling.
And were there more Than twenty-four hours a day, They'd be spent in sweet content Dreamin' away When skies are grey When skies are blue Morning, noon and nighttime too All I do the whole day through Is dream of you All I do the whole day through dream of you. It's cat's meow!
Hi, diddle-diddle, my baby's OK, Ask me a riddle, I'm waiting to say Fit as a fiddle and ready for love!
All I do the whole day through Is dream of you!
MAKE 'EM LAUGH Donald O'Connor Cosmo: Make 'em laugh Make 'em laugh Don't you know everyone wants to laugh? (Ha ha!) My dad said "Be an actor, my son But be a comical one They'll be standing in lines For those old honky tonk monkeyshines"
You start off by pretending You're a dancer with grace You wiggle 'till they're Giggling all over the place And then you get a great big custard pie in the face Make 'em laugh, Make 'em laugh Make 'em laugh
Now you could study Shakespeare and be quite elite And you can charm the critics and have nothin' to eat Just slip on a banana peel The world's at your feet Make 'em laugh, Make 'em laugh Make 'em laugh
Make 'em laugh Make 'em laugh Don't you know... all the...wants..? My dad... They'll be standing in lines For those old honky tonk monkeyshines
Make 'em... Make 'em laugh Don't you know everyone wants to laugh My grandpa said go out and tell 'em a joke But give it plenty of hoke Make 'em roar Make 'em scream Take a fall But a wall Split a seam
Make 'em laugh Make 'em laugh Don't you know everyone wants to laugh? Ah ha ha ha ha ha há Ah ha ha ha ha ha Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha Make 'em laugh, ah ah! Make 'em laugh, ah ah! Make 'em laugh, ah ah! Make 'em laugh, Make 'em laugh Make 'em laugh!

BEAUTIFUL GIRL Beautiful girl, you’re a lovely picture Beautiful girl, you’re a gorgeous mixture Of all that lies, under the big blue skies My heart cries... Beautiful girl, you’re a dazzling icon Beautiful girl, I could never ----[Dialogue] If I have you making my dream come true They may be blondes or brunettes They are hard to resist You surpass them like a queen You’ve got those lips That were meant to be kissed And you’re over sweet sixteen Oh, Beautiful girl, what a gorgeous creature Beautiful girl, let me call a preacher What can I do But give my heart to you [spoken] (A beautiful girl is like a great work of art. She’s stylish, she’s chic and she also is smart. For lounging in her boudoir, this simple plain pajama. Her cloak his trimmed with monkey fur to lend a dash of drama. Anyone for tennis? This will make them cringe, And you’ll knock’em dead at dinner if your gown just drips with fringe. You simply can’t be too modest at the beach or at the pool. And in summer time it’s organdy, that’ll keep you fresh and cool. You’ll never guess what loud applauses this cunning hat receives, And you'll never dream the things that you could hide within these sleeves. A string of pearls with a suit of tweed, it started quite a riot. And if you must wear fox to the opera, dame a fashion says dye it. Black is best when you are in court) The judge will be impressed, But white is right when you’re a bride And you'll want to be well dressed. Beautiful girl, for you I’ve got a passion Beautiful girl, you’re my queen of fashion I’m in a whirl, over my beautiful girl.
YOU WERE MEANT TO ME Gene Kelly Don: Life was a song, You came along I've laid awake the whole night through If I ever dared to think you'd care This is what I'd say to you You were meant for me And I was meant for you Nature patterned you And when she was done You were all the sweet things Rolled up in one You're like a plaintive melody That never lets me free But I'm content The angels must have sent you And they meant you just for me... But I'm content The angels must have sent you And they meant you just for me...
MOSES Moses supposes his toeses are roses But Moses supposes erroneously And Moses, he knows his toeses aren't roses As Moses supposes his toeses to be Moses supposes his toeses are roses But Moses supposes erroneously A Rose is a rose A Nose is a nose A Toese is a toese Hupidubidu! (ehehehehe) Moses supposes his toeses are roses But Moses supposes erroneously And Moses, he knows his toeses aren't roses As Moses supposes his toeses to be
