"Isn't This Better"

   
[Fanny:]
I loved the man
Truly I did
When he would touch me I act like a love-hungry kid
Isn't this better
Somebody nice somebody new
Someone who lets me react as I normally do
Isn't this better
Better
Passion is fine but passion burns fast
Passions design seems never to last
Better a match better a blend
Who needs a lover I need a friend
Now I am calm save and serene
Heartache and hurt are no longer a part of the scene
Isn't this better
The way it should be
Better for him
And also much better for me
Isn't this better
Better
Passion is fine but passion burns fast
Passions design seems never to last
Better a match better a blend
Who needs a lover I need a friend
Now I am clam save and serene
Heartache and hurt are no longer a part of the scene
Isn't this better
The way it should be
Better for him
Much better for him
And also much better for me

"If I Love Again"

   
[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...

"I Got A Code In My Doze"

   
[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

"(It's Gonna Be) A Great Day"

   
[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.

"Blind Date"

   
[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 will I 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.

"Am I Blue?"

   
[Fanny:]
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

"It's Only A Paper Moon / I Like Him"

   
[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

"Let's Hear It For Me (Unreleased Intro)"

   
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.......

"Let's Hear It For Me"

   
[Fanny & chorus:]
Blow the bugle
Sound the cymbal
All my troubles fill a thimble
I'm as happy as it's legal to be
Come on kids let's hear it for me
Get the tom tom
Start the drumming
Queue the colours
Keep them humming
Cause I'm climbing of the limb of that tree
Come on kids let's hear it for me
For this overwhelming sensation
I could stand a standing ovation
Give my entrance queue to the band
Give the little lady a great big hand
Slide the trombone
Let it swell out
This performance is a sell out
And the critics and the public agree
I'm the number one attraction to see
So applaud it and cheer it
Come on now let's hear it for me

Standing in the wings
All prepared to start
Usually I'm tense
A pounding in my heart
But now I'm not afraid
Cause butterfly's are gone
My act is looking great
I can't wait to go on, on
Grab a ticket
Find you row kid
I am strictly an SRO kid
Tell these ougly boubly feelings I'm free
They been banished by a royal decree
And your head feels so good when you finally clear it
If I saw a worry I wouldn't go near it
Come on now come on kid lets hear it
Let's hear it for me...

"Lazy Afternoon"

   
It's a lazy afternoon
And the beetle bugs are zooming
And the tulip trees are blooming
And there's not another human in view,
But us two
It's a lazy afternoon
And the farmer leaves his reaping
And the meadow cows are sleeping
And the speckled trouts stop leaping up stream
As we dream
A far pink cloud hangs over the hill
Unfolding like a rose
If you hold my hand and sit real still,
You can hear the grass as it grows
It's a hazy afternoon
And I know a place that's quiet, except for daisies running riot
And there's no one passing by it to see
Come spend this lazy afternoon with me
