"It Only Takes A Moment"

   
[Cornelius:]
It only takes a moment
For your eyes to meet and then
Your heart knows in a moment
You will never be alone again
I held her for an instant
But my arms felt sure and strong
It only takes a moment
To be loved a whole life long...
Clerk:
I missed a few words back there, Mr. Hackl.
Right after 'it only'...

[All in docket:]
...Takes a moment!
But his arms felt sure and strong
It only takes a moment

[Mrs. Molloy:]
He held me for an instant
But his arms felt safe and strong
It only takes a moment
To be loved a whole life long

[Cornelius:]
And that is all
That love's about

[Mrs. Molloy:]
And we'll recall when time runs out

[Both:]
That it only took a moment
To be loved a whole life long!

"So Long Dearie"

   
[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!

"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!

"Hurry, It's Lovely Up Here"

   
Hey buds below ... up is where to grow
Up with which below can't compare with.
Hurry - it's lovely up here ...
Life down a hole takes an awful toll,
What with not a soul there to share with
Hurry - it's lovely up here!
Wake up, bestir yourself, it's time that you disinter yourself
You've got a spot to fill - a pot to fill
And what a gift package of showers, sun and love
You'll be met above everywhere with,
Fondled and sniffed by millions who drift by,
Life here is rosy - if you're a posy
Hurry it's lovely here!
Climb up geranium, it can't be fun subterran-ium
On the exterior, it's cheerier
RSVP peonies, pollinate the breeze,
Make the queen of bees hot as brandy
Come give at least a preview of Easter
Come up and see the good we're giving
Come up and see the grounds for living
Come poke your head out,
Open up and spread out,
Hurry it's lovely here!

"Love With All The Trimmings"

   
My dearest love who existed in a dream
Till this evening when a wave came and swept me out to sea
None of the loves that you have known
Could prepare you for the love raging everywhere in me
For all the arms that have covered you the hands
That have touched you and the lips
You have lingered on before
Added together would be less than an olive
In the banquet of love I have in store
Love season to entice
Love with all the trimmings filled with spice
Love flavored to your whim
Served piping hot with all the trimmings...Ooo...
For I'll decode every breath and every sigh
Till your every lover's wish
Is fulfilled before it's made
Toss in some jealousy and doubt
Should it be required
Not to rest till there's nothing more desired
Thus loving as I do
Never, never will you ever be untrue
Having love with all the trimmings
Waiting home for you...

"Melinda"

   
This is a dream Melinda
Just a mirage, so they say
This whole affair they all declare
Was dreamed every step of the way
You're a mere dream, Melinda
Out for a gaily loose spin
Telling me lies before my eyes
of days that never have been
There's no Melinda, they say for sure
But don't go Melinda
I know and you know
That you're no mere dream, Melinda
Gone when the dawn gleam is through
You and I know that long ago
before the dream there was you
There was, was you

"Go To Sleep"

   
[Speaking]
Now that's what I call a man!What are you gonna do about Warren?
That's the first time in my life I felt like the opposite sex.
What are you gonna do about Warren? I wonder if he'll ask me
tomorrow night. What are you gonna do about Warren? What am I
gonna do about Warren? Oh, Warren doesn't care.Warren cares!
Warren cares, but I don't care! You have to care because you're
engaged to him and you don't have to care about him because how
will he know he cares about you? Then what are you gonna do?
What did you say?

When you know there's someone loving you
And you know there's someone you love too
And they're not the same, what do you do?
Go to sleep, girl! Go to sleep! Go to sleep!
Close your eyes and hide from every care
When you wake up they may not be there
But tell me how can I sleep
Tell me who could
When you see your whole life tangled up good
I could drink, I could weep
But tell me how can I sleep?
Go to sleep! Go to sleep!
And when you and someone have a date
(Which you made when you were thinking straight!)
And when you and someone stay out late
(It was bad too...)
Mmm...But I had to!
When they're not the same who gets the gate?
(This is not the way to find a mate!)
Go to sleep, girl! Go to sleep! Go to sleep!
( Go to sleep, girl! Go to sleep! Go to sleep!)
Comes the dawn I may not feel the same
(Comes the dawn he may not know your name!)
In the sunlight who can see a flame?
But tell me how can I sleep, look what I've done
Mess around with two men
Soon you'll have none
As you sow, so you reap
Which is why I can't sleep, mmm...
Go to sleep, girl! Go to sleep! Go to sleep! Go to...

"He Isn't You"

   
How could I be this at ease with him?
Pour out my heart as I please with him?
He isn't you...He isn't you...
When will I feel so in bloom again?
When will his voice warm the room again?
He isn't you...He isn't you...
Memories may fade in the shadows behind me
But there'll be the dream
That will always remind me - a dream that
I'll be forever comparing him to...
For love me, he may even die for me
Sweep every cloud from the sky for me
He may be king,
But he'll never be you...

"What Did I Have That I Don't Have?"

   
[Speaking]
Oh, I thought he kinda liked me.But all this time he was
thinking of someone else - me! Oh, these questions!
He wasn't interested in me. He was interested in me!
Oh God! Why did I have to come along? I mean, what is
so special about an English accent?
Cheerio! Oh, tallyho, doctor!
Yes, she gave me the jolly message. Oh...Nuth...
Nothing is wrong! After all, what is time?
If you miss me in this life you can catch me in the next.
Come on an' watch! 'Ay wot, well Kippered Herring! ...

I don't know why they redesigned me
He likes the way he used to find me
He likes the girl I left behind me
I mean he...I mean me...
What did I have that I don't have?
What did he like that I lost track of?
What did I do that I don't do the way I did before
What isn't there that once was there?
What have I got a great big lack of?
Something in me that
He could see that
Beckons to him no more
I' m just a victim of time
Obsolete in my prime
Out-of-date and outclassed, by my past!
What did he love that there's none of?
What did I lose the sweet warm knack of?
Wouldn't I be the late great me if I knew how?
Oh, what did I have I don't have now?
What did I have that I don't have?
What do I need big supply of?
What was the trick I did particularly well before?
What did he see that's gone in me?
What did I use that now I'm shy of?
Why is the sequel never the equal?
Why is there no encore?
Where can I go to repair?
All the wear and the tear
Till I'm once again the previous me!
What did he like that I am not like?
What was the charm that I've run dry of?
What would I give if my old know-how still knew how?
Oh what did I know?
Tell me where did it go!
What, oh, what did I have I don't have now?

"Come Back To Me"

   
Hear my voice where you are
Take a train, steal a car
Hop a freight, grab a star, come back to me
Catch a plane, catch a breeze
On your hands, on your knees
Swim or fly, only please, come back to me
On a mule, in a jet
With your hair in a net
In a towel when you're wet
I don't care, this is where you should be
From the hills, from the shore
Ride the wind to my door
Turn the high with the dust
Break the law if you must
Move the world, only just come back to me

Blast you high, hear me call
Must I fight City Hall
Here and now, damn it all, come back to me
What on Earth must I do
Scream and yell till I'm blue
Curse your soul when will you come back to me?
Have you gone to the moon or the corner saloon
At your rack, at your room
Mademoiselle, where in Hell can you be?

Leave a sign on your door
Out to lunch ever more
In a Royce or a van, wrapped in mink coats or rain
Anyway that you can, come back to me
Hear my voice through the dim
Feel the waves on your skin
Like a call from within, come back to me
Leave behind all your own
Tell your flowers you will phone
Let your dog walk alone, come back to me

Let your tub overflow
If a date waits below
Let him wait for Godot
By the rail,
Come by mail, COD
Par avion, par bateau
Dans une vielle, deux chevaux

Come by steam, come by gas
Call for free on a pass
On the drags and the glass, come back to me
Leave your bills all unpaid
Let your bed go unmade
Your souffle unsouffled, come back to me
Come by sail, come by freight
In a box or a tray, keep your head on the plate
I don't care this is where you should be

Come in pain or in joy
As a girl, as a boy
In a bag or a trunk (Shut up!)
On a horse or a drunk
In the flora or faun, come back to me
Come back to me, come back...

"Daisy"
"Will you stop bothering me?"
"Why, Daisy, you're a bloody miracle!"
